Popis: The impact of the Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, which emerged in 2019, has not only threatened public health but also affected the global economy, including Indonesia. The government has initiated various aid programs to assist the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. These aids are expected to alleviate the economic burden on the affected population. One such aid program is the Direct Cash Assistance (Bantuan Langsung Tunai/BLT) from the Village Fund, which has been distributed since the onset of COVID-19 in Indonesia. However, the distribution of BLT has encountered several issues, including misidentification of recipients and double or excessive distribution beyond the established criteria. To address these issues, data mining for the classification of aid recipients can be employed. This study uses the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) method for data mining classification to classify residents' data with new patterns, ensuring aid distribution aligns with the criteria and eliminating double recipients. The application of K-Nearest Neighbor to the population data in Kasomalang District yields optimal performance, with evaluation results showing an accuracy of 96%, precision of 0.98, recall of 0.96, and F1 score of 0.97 using the confusion matrix method.
