This research aims to describe the implementation of BLT in Beji Village, Kedungbanteng District, Banyumas Regency, which is one of the villages in Indonesia that implements the Direct Cash Assistance program. The research method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach. The results of the research show that, from the implementation of the Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance Program (BLT-DD) in Beji Village, Kedungbanteng District, Banyumas Regency, judging from the policy standards and targets of the BLT-DD program in Beji Village, it can be said to have gone well. Looking at the resources for implementing the BLT distribution program, it is considered that the distribution is quite adequate, including controlling the running of this program. Judging from the involvement between the social environment and the economy, it can be concluded that the implementation of the BLT-DD program has been successfully implemented, but in terms of social involvement, the BLT-DD program can bring about social jealousy or social inequality among the community, and economic involvement after the BLT-DD is realized can is said to have succeeded in boosting the economic standard of living for the poor in Beji Village, Kedungbanteng District.
