Indonesia announces Rp900,000 wage subsidy for 13.3 million workers
The Indonesian government has announced the 2026 Wage Subsidy Assistance (BSU) program, which aims to provide financial aid to approximately 13.3 million workers. Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto stated that the program requires an estimated budget of nearly Rp12 trillion.
Recipients are expected to receive a total of Rp900,000, distributed as Rp300,000 per month over the fourth quarter, covering October, November, and December 2026. While the program has been announced, the Ministry of Manpower has advised the public to wait for official updates through government channels.
Local authorities, such as the Cirebon City Manpower Office, reported that they have not yet received official information regarding the specific mechanisms or criteria for the 2026 program. Additionally, the formal Minister of Manpower Regulation governing this year's BSU has not been issued as of early October 2026. Workers can typically check their eligibility through official government websites or the BPJS Ketenagakerjaan JMO application.
