How to Check Social Assistance Decile February 2026 Via Mobile: Practical Guide for the Community

For people who want to know whether they are included in the group receiving social assistance (bansos) in February 2026, checking the social assistance decile is an important step that needs to be taken. Social assistance deciles are groupings based on household welfare levels that can influence access to various government social assistance programs.

By checking deciles, people can ascertain their position in the national economic system, which plays an important role in determining their eligibility to receive assistance such as the Family Hope Program (PKH), BPNT/Sembako Program, and PBI-JK BPJS Health. This article will discuss how to check the 2026 social assistance decile independently via cellphone so that people can more easily find out their status.

What is the Social Assistance Decile?

Social assistance deciles are a grouping system that divides society into 10 groups based on household social and economic conditions. This system refers to the National Socio-Economic Single Data (DTSEN) which is managed by the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos). With this grouping, the government can distribute aid in a more targeted manner.

The general distribution of social assistance deciles for 2026 is as follows:

• Decile 1: The poorest or extreme poor
• Decile 2: Poor people
• Decile 3: Almost poor
• Decile 4: Vulnerable to poverty
• Decile 5: Mediocre or close to middle class
• Decile 6–10: Middle to well-off people

The social assistance decile status is very influential in determining the social assistance that can be received. The lower the decile, the greater the chance of receiving government social assistance.

Influence of Deciles on Social Assistance Receipts 2026

Decile determination is one of the main factors that determines the type of social assistance that will be received by the community. Based on the latest policy from the Ministry of Social Affairs, the following is the influence of deciles on social assistance receipts in 2026:

• Decile 1–4: Eligible to receive the Family Hope Program (PKH)
• Decile 1–5: Eligible to receive BPNT/Sembako Program
• Decile 1–5: Eligible to receive PBI-JK BPJS Health
• Decile 1–5: Potential to receive ATENSI assistance, according to the results of the officer’s assessment

However, communities with deciles above 5 are generally not prioritized for social assistance recipients, although the final determination will still go through field verification by the relevant officers. In some areas, decile status is also used as a requirement in the educational affirmation pathway.

Conditions that can invalidate the status of social assistance recipients

Even though people have been registered in a certain decile, there are several conditions that can invalidate the status of social assistance recipients, including:

• Address not found or does not match
• Population data is not yet valid or has not been verified
• The recipient has died
• Registered as ASN, TNI, Polri, state official, or BUMN/BUMD employee
• Having a nuclear family member with that employment status

This provision is implemented to ensure that social assistance is only received by those who need it and is in accordance with the welfare conditions of the household.

By using the Ministry of Social Affairs’ Social Assistance Check application, people can easily check their social assistance decile independently via cellphone. Through this check, they can find out whether they are entitled to receive government social assistance in 2026, and whether their data has been registered correctly in the National Socioeconomic Single Data (DTSEN).

Don’t forget to regularly check the social assistance decile so that the DTSEN data is always updated and accurate, so that people can get the help they really need.***
