This article will comprehensively discuss the requirements and procedures for claiming BPJS Employment without an employment certificate, whether through branch offices, the JMO application, or online via Lapak Asik.

1. What is JHT BPJS Employment?
Old Age Security (JHT) is a social protection program that offers financial security for workers when entering retirement, facing permanent total disability, or in the event of death. The JHT funds accumulate from monthly contributions paid during the active working period, and participants can withdraw them after stopping work or retiring.
Interestingly, the accumulated balance not only comes from contributions but also from the management of funds by BPJS Employment. Participants can enjoy the convenience of withdrawing the full JHT balance after one month of stopping work, whether due to layoffs, resignation, or other reasons.
To enhance convenience, fund withdrawals can also be done in various ways, ranging from visiting BPJS branch offices, using the JMO application, to the online service Lapak Asik, so participants do not need to hassle of coming directly to the office.
2. Requirements for Submitting JHT Claims Without Work Reference
BPJS Ketenagakerjaan participants who do not have a work reference can still withdraw their JHT balance by completing the following documents:
- Original BPJS Ketenagakerjaan participant card.
- Identity Card (KTP) or other valid identification.
- Family Card (KK).
- Tax Identification Number (NPWP) for balances over Rp50 million.
- Other evidence such as employee ID card, pay slip, or resignation letter from the company.
These documents serve as a substitute for a work reference and still validate the participant's membership status while working at the related company. Incomplete documents may delay the claims process, so it is important to ensure that all requirements are met.
