Based on these problems, this study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of social assistance programs during the Covid-19 pandemic based on the Decree of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 54 of 2020 in Selangkau Village, Kaliorang District, East Kutai Regency, and to describe and analyze the factors that influence support and hinder the implementation of social assistance programs during the Covid-19 pandemic.
