Indonesia's 2026 Wage Subsidy Paid in November-December Through Six State Channels
The Manpower Ministry confirmed the Rp900,000 wage subsidy will be disbursed in a single payment through Himbara banks, BSI and Pos, with an official warning against phishing links.
Indonesia's Manpower Ministry confirmed on October 29 that the 2026 wage subsidy program (BSU) will be disbursed in November and December. Eligible workers receive Rp300,000 per month for three months, totaling Rp900,000 per person, paid in a single disbursement through the state banks Mandiri, BRI, BNI and BTN, as well as BSI and Pos.
The ministry paired the announcement with an official warning against fake links and phishing scams targeting applicants during the payout period. Mass government-to-person payouts of this kind typically drive a sharp spike in branch and call-center traffic — reactivations of dormant accounts, identity verification and complaints — alongside waves of fraud attempts impersonating the disbursing banks' brands throughout the November-December payment window. The ministry has not yet published the final number of eligible recipients, which banks and regulators are expected to confirm as disbursement windows open in November.
