JAYAPURA - Head of the Social Service for Population and Civil Registration (Dinsosdukcapil) of Papua Province, Rebekah Haluk, ensured that the invitation to open registration for Direct Fuel Cash Assistance through chain messages was a hoax or fake news.

This was conveyed by Rebekah in response to the circulation of chain messages on WhatsApp about the opening of registration.

"The information is a lie there is no opening of Direct Fuel Cash Assistance registration".

"Once again, we tell the public to not believe in these individuals," Rebekah explained in Jayapura, Monday.

Rebekah said that the people who are recorded and registered as beneficiary families (KPM) of Direct Fuel Cash Assistance are non-State Civil Apparatus, National Armed Forces and Police or underprivileged residents.

Those who are registered are also underprivileged citizens who are registered with the Ministry of Social Affairs through the Central Task Force.

Meanwhile, people who want to get information about Direct Fuel Cash Assistance from the central government, Rebekah said, can come directly to the post office or local social service.

Her party prepares accompanying personnel who directly verify the data of the Direct Fuel Cash Assistance recipient.

"So that with the presence of this companion, it is hoped that verification can be right on target to residents who really need it," she explained.

It is known that the amount of Direct Fuel Cash Assistance received by KPM is IDR 600 thousand rupiah which will be distributed in two steps with distribution through the nearest POST Office or it can also be at banks that have been appointed by the central government. ***
