TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian Minister of Manpower, Yassierli, confirmed that there is no disbursement of the Wage Subsidy Assistance (BSU) phase II. The government will only distribute the BSU in June and July of 2025.
"There has been no BSU phase II until now," said Yassierli to the media at his office in Jakarta on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
Previously, the Ministry of Manpower reported that, as of June 24, 2025, the first phase of BSU had been distributed to 2,450,068 out of the total target of 3,697,836 workers. Disbursement of the remaining 1,247,768 workers is still in progress.
This BSU program assists Rp300,000 per month for two consecutive months, namely June and July 2025. The assistance is disbursed in a single payment of Rp600,000, free of deductions, through Himbara banks (state banks) and PT Pos Indonesia for recipients without a bank account.
BSU recipients are Indonesian citizens registered as active participants of BPJS Manpower until April 2025, with a maximum salary of Rp3.5 million monthly or equivalent to the minimum wage in their respective regions. This assistance is not provided to civil servants, the military, or the police, and is not intended for workers who are currently receiving the Family Hope Program (PKH).
BSU is one of the five government economic stimulus programs, alongside toll tariff discounts, transportation subsidies, social assistance, and a reduction in work accident insurance contributions (JKK). This policy is expected to maintain the purchasing power of the public while also driving national economic growth.
