Check Bansos Status: The Official Kemensos Check, Explained

Last updated: 10 November 2026 · Sources: Kemensos, BPS, Puslapdik Kemendikdasmen

Short answer: on cekbansos.kemensos.go.id you search by full name + region (not by typing your NIK); in the official Cek Bansos app, your NIK is used when you create an account. Both are free. The wizard below shows your exact route.

Route 1: The Kemensos Website (Name + Region)

1. Open cekbansos.kemensos.go.idUse your phone browser and confirm the address ends in .go.id.
2. Select your region step by stepChoose province, regency/city, district and village exactly as on your KTP address.
3. Type the beneficiary nameEnter the full name exactly as printed on the KTP: one wrong letter can hide the result.
4. Enter the captcha and searchThe result shows whether that name receives PKH, BPNT or other Kemensos assistance for the selected period, and its status.

Route 2: The Official Cek Bansos App (NIK Account)

The Ministry of Social Affairs' official "Cek Bansos" app (from Kemensos RI in the Play Store) lets you register with your NIK and family card data, view your household's assistance status, and use two important features: Usul: propose a household that should receive aid, and Sanggah: object to incorrect data or ineligible recipients. Only install the official app published by Kemensos; copycat apps asking for money are scams.

If Your Name Does Not Appear

First, re-check spelling, region and period. If everything is correct and there is still no result, your household is likely not registered as a recipient in DTSEN. The remedy is a proposal (usul): submit it in the app or at your village/kelurahan office. It then flows through the SIKS-NG system, village deliberation (Musdes/Muskel) and the local social office (Dinsos). This takes time: decisions follow the quarterly decree (SK) cycle: and it is always free.

Frequently Asked Questions | caracekdesil

Does the Kemensos bansos check use my NIK?

The cekbansos.kemensos.go.id website works differently from what many people expect: you search by full name plus region (province, regency, district, village) and a captcha: not by typing your NIK. The official Cek Bansos mobile app does use your NIK when you register an account. Never type your NIK into unofficial websites that promise a "KTP check".

Which programs can I check on the Kemensos site?

The site shows recipient status for the regular Kemensos programs, including PKH and BPNT/Sembako, for the disbursement period you select. PIP student aid is checked separately on the education ministry site, pip.kemendikdasmen.go.id.

My name does not appear. Am I not a recipient?

Not necessarily. Check that the spelling exactly matches your KTP, that the region matches your registered address, and try the latest disbursement period. If your household is not in DTSEN at all, you first need to be proposed (usul) via your village office or the Cek Bansos app.

What is the Usul-Sanggah feature in the Cek Bansos app?

Usul lets you propose yourself or another household that deserves assistance but is not registered. Sanggah lets you object to a recipient you believe is ineligible, or to your own incorrect data. Proposals go through verification and village deliberation (Musdes/Muskel) before the local social office decides: the process is free.

Is it safe to check bansos status online?

Yes, on official .go.id sites and the official Cek Bansos app from Kemensos. It is never safe on look-alike sites or apps that ask for payment, OTP codes, or photos of your ID card. Official checks are always free.
