JAKARTA - The Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) emphasized that social assistance (bansos) for victims of mass layoffs due to the policy of import tariffs for US President Donald Trump could not just be given.
Minister of Social Affairs Saifullah Yusuf or Gus Ipul emphasized that his party is still waiting for an update on the single national socio-economic data (DTSEN) from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS).
"Regarding the poverty rate, we depart from the data. The data is updated every three months," explained Gus Ipul in his statement.
Gus Ipul also said that social assistance for victims of mass layoffs affected by Trump's import rates could only be distributed if prospective recipients were verified in DTSEN, especially those included in the decile category 1 and 2, which includes the poor and vulnerable to poverty. '

"You can't suddenly talk, continue to provide assistance immediately. You have to enter the data first, and the data is official from BPS," said Gus Ipul.
This step was taken to ensure that aid was right on target, especially for workers affected by President Donald Trump's reciprocal import tariff policy, which triggered a wave of mass layoffs in certain sectors.
