The government’s objective is that the beneficiaries of this wage aid are 15.7 million people.

According to Utoh, 14.2 million account numbers have been collected to date and three stages have been validated.

The number of validated data reached 11.3 million.

“Of these, we presented 2.5 million last week and 3 million yesterday, so a total of 5.5 million participant data was in two stages,” he said.

He explained that BPJS Ketenagakerjaan or BPJAMSOSTEK provides two alternate actions for worker account numbers that fail multi-layer validation.

“The first alternative, BPJAMSOSTEK will return the account number data to the participating companies to reconfirm, if the cause is not due to inconsistencies with Permenaker No. 14/2020,” said Utoh.

The second alternative, a condition in which the participant’s data is not valid because it does not match the criteria of Permenaker Number 14 of 2020, so it is not automatically included in the list of recipients of BSU.

“The number of invalid participant account data reached 1.6 million people,” he continued.
