Vice President Gibran, accompanied by the Deputy Minister of Manpower, inspects the distribution of BSU at the Tangerang KCU Post Office to ensure that the 2025 BSU is on target and transparent

Tangerang, Banten (July 16, 2025) — The Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, along with the Deputy Minister of Manpower, Immanuel Ebenezer, paid a working visit to the Tangerang KCU Post Office on Wednesday (July 16) to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the 2025 Wage Subsidy Assistance (BSU). This visit was part of an effort to ensure that the aid distribution process is carried out transparently, accountably, and inclusively, especially amidst global economic challenges that continue to impact workers' purchasing power.

The 2025 BSU is a national strategic program to support the economic sustainability of formal workers earning less than IDR 3.5 million. The government is distributing aid of IDR 600,000 per person (for two months at a time), targeting more than 17.3 million workers throughout Indonesia. Of this assistance, 8.5 million are distributed through non-Himbara schemes, including through PT Pos Indonesia (Persero), known by its PosIND brand, which is the government's main partner.

As of mid-July 2025, PosIND's internal dashboard recorded that more than 4.5 million workers had registered as BSU recipients through the post office. Distribution was conducted through more than 4,000 service points, including post offices, mobile fleets, and offline services in the 3T (Underdeveloped, Frontier, and Remote) areas, underscoring the company's commitment to comprehensive community outreach.

The Tangerang KCU Post Office serves as a strategic operational hub for BSU distribution, covering Tangerang City and Regency. Thousands of workers have disbursed aid funds both directly and digitally through mechanisms that prioritize data security and validity, including the use of biometrics and QR codes from the POSPAY application to ensure that aid is received by the authorized parties, as recorded by the Ministry of Manpower.

During the visit, the Vice President and Vice Minister of Manpower directly observed the service process, greeted BSU recipients, and spoke with postal officers in the field. Both expressed their appreciation for the post office's continued operation, which operates 7 days a week, from morning until 9:00 PM WIB, demonstrating its dedication to public service.

"The BSU is a tangible manifestation of the government's concern for formal sector workers. Pos Indonesia has demonstrated its capacity to reach communities even in areas underserved by banks. This is commendable," said Vice President Gibran Rakabuming.

"We ensure the validity of recipient data through the BPJS Ketenagakerjaan system. PosIND is present as a strategic partner with a combination of adaptive and professional digital and physical services," added Deputy Minister of Manpower, Immanuel Ebenezer.

 Easy Access through Pospay

Although many workers are not yet connected to digital services, PosIND continues to provide technology integration through the Pos Giro Cash dashboard and the Pospay app as a means of notification and checking aid status.

Prospective BSU recipients are encouraged to regularly check their eligibility through the official BSU website of the Ministry of Manpower or the Pospay app.

POSPAY, owned by PT Pos Indonesia (Persero), is one of the important breakthroughs in this year's BSU program. Through POSPAY, recipients can check their aid status, receive eligibility notifications, and display a QR code for fast and secure disbursement of funds at the post office. The app is available on the Play Store and App Store, opening access for workers without bank accounts.

 Requirements for Disbursing BSU at the Post Office

Before disbursing 2025 BSU funds at the Post Office, several requirements must be met, namely:

- Bring your original ID card and a photocopy of your Family Card (KK).

- Bring a photocopy of the QR code or barcode from the Pospay app or notification of your receipt as a BSU recipient disbursed through the post office.

- BSU disbursement at the post office cannot be done by proxy; it can only be done directly by the recipient.

Present at the monitoring and evaluation at the Tangerang KCU Post Office, which was visited directly by the Vice President and Minister of Manpower, were the Acting President Director of PosIND, Endy Pattia Rahmadi Abdurrrahman, the Director of Financial Services Business, Haris, and PosIND staff.

The government continues to encourage the public to check their eligibility for BSU recipients through the official websites bsu.kemnaker.go.id, bsu.bpjsketenagakerjaan.go.id, and the POSPAY app. Aid distribution is being carried out in stages, prioritizing the principle of prudence, strict data validation, and multi-layered oversight to prevent misuse.

The public is also urged not to provide personal data or pay parties offering expedited disbursement services. BSU is distributed free of charge.

The collaboration between the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker RI), as an extension of the government, and PT Pos Indonesia (Persero) in the 2025 BSU program reaffirms the government's commitment to protecting its citizens, especially vulnerable workers. Distribution through the Post Office network not only expands the reach of aid but also ensures fairness and efficiency with the support of technology and a continuously evolving dedication to public service.
