Complete guide to checking PKH recipient NIK and 2025 disbursement schedule.

The Indonesian government is continuing the Family Hope Program (PKH) as an effort to eradicate poverty in 2025. With a social protection budget reaching IDR 504.7 trillion, PKH is a priority program to support poor families, especially those with vulnerable members such as pregnant women, school children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

PKH 2025 will include improving beneficiary data so that assistance is more targeted. Through the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS) system, people can check whether they are registered as recipients of assistance. One method used is by utilizing the Population Identification Number (NIK) on the KTP.

To ensure you get PKH assistance, it is important to understand how to check recipient status through the official application and website. Here is a complete guide on how to check PKH recipient NIK and the disbursement schedule.

The public can check the status of PKH recipients through the official application "Cek Bansos" available on the Google Play Store. This application simplifies the data verification process with the following steps:

1. Download and install the "Cek Bansos" application on your device.
2. Create a new account by filling in personal data, such as name, NIK, address, email, and telephone number.
3. Attach a photo of your ID card and a selfie for the verification process.
4. Account activation via the link sent to your email.
5. Once the account is active, log in and open the "Profile" menu to see the status of PKH social assistance recipients.

With this application, the public can also check the family profiles recorded in the DTKS, thus providing transparency of recipient data.

Another alternative to check the status of PKH social assistance recipients is through the official website cekbansos.kemensos.go.id. The checking process can be done with the following steps:

1. Open the website cekbansos.kemensos.go.id in your browser.
2. Fill in regional data such as province, district/city, sub-district, and village according to domicile.
3. Enter your full name as per your ID card.
4. Type the CAPTCHA verification code displayed on the screen.
5. Click "Search Data" to find out the status of social assistance recipients.

If you are registered, the system will display complete information about the type of assistance and the disbursement period. If not, a "Not Registered" notification will appear.

PKH fund disbursement is carried out in stages every three months. Here is the disbursement schedule for 2025:

1. Phase 1: January, February, March
2. Phase 2: April, May, June
3. Phase 3: July, August, September
4. Stage 4: October, November, December

The aid funds will be distributed through various methods, such as the Post Office, national banks, or door-to-door services. Make sure you check the disbursement status regularly through the official Kemensos website or the "Cek Bansos" application.

The amount of PKH assistance funds in 2025 is adjusted to the recipient category. Here are the details of the nominal assistance per stage and the total per year:

1. Pregnant women: IDR 750,000 per stage (IDR 3,000,000 per year)
2. Toddlers (0-6 years): Rp. 750,000 per stage (Rp. 3,000,000 per year)
3. Elementary school students: Rp. 225,000 per stage (Rp. 900,000 per year)
4. Junior high school students: Rp. 375,000 per stage (Rp. 1,500,000 per year)

7. Severe disability: Rp. 600,000 per stage (Rp. 2,400,000 per year)

Beneficiaries can use these funds to meet basic needs and support the family's graduation process from poverty status.

Ensuring that the data of social assistance recipients recorded in the DTKS is an important step to ensure that assistance is right on target. The government continues to update recipient data to reduce the risk of errors and misuse. Therefore, the public is urged to immediately correct the data if there is a discrepancy.

Through the official application and website, recipients can check and ensure their data is accurate. In addition, active community involvement in updating data will support the effectiveness of social assistance programs in the future.
