Ringkasan

The government issued a new regulation on Wednesday on its flagship incentivized training
program, the preemployment card, to close loopholes in the previous regulation, which had
prompted public criticism of systemic irregularities and conflicts of interest.

The newly issued Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 76/2020 on the preemployment card
allows the program management to demand that ineligible participants return the financial
assistance (incentives) in full within 60 days. The management may also file criminal charges
against ineligible participants who used falsified personal data to apply for the program.

The regulation clearly stipulates that the program is available to laid-off workers, furloughed
employees and micro and small business owners. It also regulates the conditions for the
program’s offline training courses.
