What was said
Speaking in Bandung on 14 November 2026, Manpower Minister Yassierli said the 2026 wage subsidy (BSU) of Rp900,000 had not yet been paid out because it was still being processed administratively at the Finance Ministry: "BSU tunggu, kita masih proses administrasi di Kementerian Keuangan. Tunggu aja."
Claimed by Yassierli, Minister of Manpower of Indonesia · news report · Kompas
Our verdict
The official BSU website still says the way to check recipients will be announced later, and a Manpower Ministry official confirmed on 14 November that the recipient check had not opened because the programme was still being processed, with no payment schedule announced. On 9 November Yassierli had already said the data were being finalised at the Finance Ministry before his ministry verifies them again. The record supports that the subsidy has not been paid; the sources reviewed contain no separate Finance Ministry comment on its part of the process.
