Social Security No Longer in SOEs

The government no longer insists on maintaining the existence of SOEs as the services of social security. But the submissions of new formulations remain to be scrutinized.

Executive Director of the Indonesian Institute of Social Security (IJSI) Cuncun Jaya said, referring to best practice implementation of social security abroad, the agency provider of social security (BPJS) should be an independent legal entity such as Bank Indonesia (BI).
Its formation was equally through the Act. According to him, the nine principles of the Law of the National Social Security System (Law Navigation) does not contain or regulate that BPJS should be where or under whom. "However, looking at academic paper SJSN Act, it is clear that BPJS under the President who helped DJSN (National Social Security Board), not under specific ministries especially the Ministry of SOEs, "said Cuncun in Jakarta yesterday. Formation of two versions BPJS government, he added, more to meet the mandate of the National Social Security System Law and the Decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) Number 007/PUU-III/2005 than the version the House who want to immerse themselves four State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) into one BPJS.
But keep in mind that BPJS should be a transformation of the four SOEs namely Asabri, Askes, Taspen, and Social Security, not the new body as desired by the government. Establishment of National Social Security System Act BPJS a mandate that was passed in 2004. However, the discussion draft Law BPJS between the government and parliament had stalled. This is because the fast back and forth about the status BPJS. The government seems reluctant to let the implementation and management of social security which has been shaped in the hands of state-owned limited company (PT).
Meanwhile, Chairman of the People's Prosperous Future Foundation (Madera) Odang Muchtar said the government's National Social Security System and opinions can samasama running if sought a justification. State Enterprises Minister allowed to remain assigned PT Taspen, PT Asabri, and PT Askes to manage the payment of retirement benefits, pension and health insurance specifically for civil, military, police, and his family. Thus, the Act will regulate the establishment BPJS BPJS with two options as long-term program providers such as old age or special pensions for civil servants, military, police, and his family, while the other BPJS responsible for short-term programs such as health and accident.
Meanwhile, if the government had yet to accept the version the House because of the characteristics of the implementation of social security, the two organizers of an alternative worth considering, which consists of BPJS BPJS to the formal sector and self-employed. BPJS serving formal sector workers in employment, amounting to about 35 million self-employed jiwa.Sedangkan BPJS SJSN organized for farmers, fishermen, carpenters meatballs, traders in markets, street vendors, and in other informal sector, which accounted for around 64 million people.
Members Panja RUU BPJS Pitaloka Rieke Diah said the existing social security sepertiAskes, Social Security, Taspen, and tend to be discriminatory and limitatif.Tidak Asabri all Indonesian people get it. This is different from social security within five SJSN that includes health insurance, accident, old age insurance, pensions, and health insurance. "Fifth guarantee is a guarantee from birth until death," he said. PDIP politicians called for public support for the bill immediately endorsed BPJS. "Version of government, the public pays twice the contribution to the two institutions," he said.
Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare (Welfare) Agung Laksono said, institutional BPJS still be compromised. Meanwhile, Chairman Bill Panja BPJS Ahmad Nizar Sihab reveals, the government has agreed that the four companies will be transformed program and institution, but require a period of transition in the process which will be discussed in the chapter transition. Nizar also said the government had agreed to make BPJS have a guardian agency mandate. The issue is whether the four state-owned provider of social security that already exists is melted or still exist without an audit because it formed a new nonprofit entity.
