Casework is a process used by humanitarian service agencies to assist individuals in addressing social functioning issues. This process includes several stages: engagement, assessment, planning, intervention, evaluation, and termination. This study examines the application of the casework method with a client named SM, a 30-year-old widow with two children facing economic and social limitations. Through interviews and observations using the BPSS (Bio, Psycho, Social, Spiritual) approach, the practitioner assessed the client’s condition, revealing that SM struggled with economic difficulties and challenges in providing adequate care for her children. In the intervention stage, SM was provided with a program to develop weaving skills, which led to the production of woven mats, curtains, and decorations. Monitoring was conducted to ensure that the client adhered to the program, ultimately increasing SM’s income to Rp 40,000 per day. In the termination stage, the cooperation between the practitioner and the client was concluded as the agreed-upon goals had been achieved. This study demonstrates that with the right approach, individuals facing social and economic limitations can develop their potential and improve their well-being.

Direct Cash Transfer (BLT) is one of the Indonesian government's initiatives that aims to provide direct financial support to the community, especially vulnerable groups, in the face of difficult economic conditions. BLT functions as a social safety net to fulfill basic needs and reduce economic burden during times of crisis, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through this research, the author analyzes the role of BLT in strengthening the social security system in Indonesia. This research uses an interview-based qualitative approach and literature study, which provides in-depth insights into the effectiveness of BLT in improving the welfare of vulnerable communities. The results show that BLT not only helps fulfill basic needs, but also increases purchasing power and social resilience. However, improvements in the distribution and supervision of the program are still needed so that its impact can be optimal and sustainable.
