The results of the study show that the Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance (BLT DD) policy is very beneficial for the Village community affected by Covid-19 in Pujon District, by implementing it according to the procedures and mechanisms that have been determined in Permendes No. 6 of 2020 is able to cover the most vulnerable people in Pujon District. The implementation of the BLT DD policy in Pujon District in general has reflected the values ??of justice, expediency and very good legal policies. If the BLT DD policy is carried out well, according to the existing procedures and rules, BLT DD will provide a sense of justice for the poor, weak, jobless, marginal and have not received any assistance from any agency. Supporting factors for policy implementation, namely good coordination and communication, strong will and commitment from the village government in Pujon District to help poor communities affected by the Covid-19 pandemic are capital in implementing policies that can run well even though there are still shortages, the presence of volunteers and village community participation and involvement. While the inhibiting factors are the discrepancy of data with the number of beneficiary families (KPM), delays in the distribution of the BLT DD distribution process, lack of coordination.</em></p>}, number={11}, journal={International Journal of Research in Social Science and Humanities (IJRSS) ISSN:2582-6220, DOI: 10.47505/IJRSS}, author={Suwadji and Bambang Satriya and Dwi Suharnoko}, year={2022}, month={Nov.}, pages={10–26} }
