Indonesia aims to register 48 million families for digital social assistance
Indonesia aims to register 48 million families in its Perlinsos Digital system by the end of 2026, Social Affairs Minister Saifullah Yusuf says.
The system is being used to recheck social assistance recipient data and let people who need support apply.
More than 13.2 million families have registered so far, either on their own or with help from agents.
Registration includes data checks and facial recognition, and is linked to updates to Indonesia’s national social and economic database.
Applying does not guarantee aid: the system will decide whether someone qualifies.
Agents can help residents register, but their work is voluntary and they must not charge fees.
The government hopes registrations will keep increasing as more agents and local support become available.

What people are saying
Target kita paling tidak di akhir tahun nanti sudah ada 48 juta keluarga yang sudah registrasi di Perlinsos Digital kita,
Sekali lagi yang akan menyatakan layak atau tidak, itu adalah sistem. Yang penting kita masukkan apa adanya,
Agen Perlinsos itu juga tidak mendapatkan bayaran dan tidak boleh meminta bayaran kepada siapa pun. Jadi benar-benar relawan,
