According to Staf Khusus Gubernur DKI Jakarta (Special Staff to the Governor of DKI Jakarta), Chico Hakim, the primary requirement for applicants is to possess a Jakarta ID card (KTP DKI Jakarta). This singular criterion is emphasized by the Governor to ensure the program serves as a crucial social support system for Jakarta residents facing economic hardship.

The program is designed to provide temporary employment for three months, after which the provincial government will conduct an evaluation to determine the possibility of extension based on field needs. While specific job details are still being finalized by the relevant agencies, Chico Hakim indicated that labor-intensive work typically includes physical tasks and support activities such as environmental cleaning, area arrangement, and minor infrastructure repairs across various parts of Jakarta.
