directly by the author of the work process, symptoms,
and behavior to record the various phenomena that
occur Observation Techniques / Observations,
according to Sutrisno Hadi in Sugiyono (2013), is a
complex process, two of which are the most important
processes of observation and memory. To strengthen
the results of the author's observation, the interviews
were conducted on the parties who have authority
over the pension payment service that is the Main
Manager of Services and Marketing Division as the
head of the work unit and Functional Marketing as an
expert staff in service at PT Taspen (Persero). The
writer's interview is appropriate to deepen the
material because according to Esterberg in Sugiyono
(2013), through interviews can be constructed
meaning in a certain topic which is the result of the
exchange of information and ideas. Subsequent
supporting data of the authors get based on the results
of annual management reports from 2015 to 2017.
According to Pivac (2017), the annual report can
provide a fair review of the company's development
in a business and the position of the company.
Data Processing Technique
Data processing techniques used to perform data
reduction because the data obtained from interviews
are not structured observes, and supporting
documents are quite complex. In the process of
summarizing, choosing the things that are considered
important, as well as looking for patterns according to
the theme that the author lifts, it takes a coding
process (Creswell, 2014) is a process where
researchers search for keywords from the description
interview that can answer the formulation of the
problem. The coding type is open coding because the
researcher studies the text (interview transcript, field
note, document) for information categorized as
prominent by the researcher (Creswell, 2014).
Furthermore, these prominent data writers make
reference to being analyzed more in-depth. According
to Ahmadi (2016), the analysis includes organizing
data, dividing data into manageable units, finding
patterns, and finding what is important, which can be
learned, and deciding what researchers will report in
this case the researchers focus on the process of
digitizing pension payments from a communication
point of view.
4 FINDINGS
Technology Can be Understood In All
Generations
The use of information and communication
technologies has accelerated the social networking
process for all generations, including elderly genders
that are the main targets in digitizing pension
payments. Enthusiastic of the elderly in using
information and communication technology is very
big seen from the number of participants who attend
to follow the enrollment of the process of recording
biometric data which will be used as the basis receipt
of payment pension. The online authentication
process can be done through biometric-based
smartphones such as fingerprint, face recognition,
and voice recognition. The pension payments that last
several years take about three hours by queue,
according to Iqbal in Riyandi (2018), now 3 minutes.
The management believes that technology is
beneficial to all people and the age of retirees is not a
barrier to information and communication technology
can be maximized. The process of enrollment or
biometric data recording is conducted from May to
October 2018. The enthusiasm for recording is highly
visible from the number of participants who are
recording at the Main Branch Office of Jakarta PT
Taspen (Persero). Based on the observation of the
author, the number of participants who attend always
meets the waiting room since early May. There is a
concern for pensioners that their rights cannot be paid
if they have not yet done biometric recording
especially on the payment of Pension 13 and Hari
Raya allowance (THR) to be paid in June 2018. This
is supported by the press release spread by the
company on 28 May 2018, it is stated that the
biometric data recording activity does not affect the
payment of Pension 13 and THR for pensioners
because it is not mentioned in the technical guidance
of the implementation of the grant referred to the
Government Regulation No. 18 of 2018 on the
Provision of Salaries, Pensions or Third Allowance of
Civil Servants, Soldiers The Indonesian National
Armed Forces, Members of the Indonesian National
Police, State Officials and Pensioners or Benefits.

Partners who have the means adequate. In accordance
with the statement a Functional Marketing as follows:
"Implementation of enrollment may be performed in
all paying partners where the relevant pensioner is
registered as long as the intended paying office
already has sufficient means to enroll"

months and use approximately 10 thousand
socializing workers. As stated by Faisal Rahman,
Director of Planning, Business Development and
Information Technology, "Taspen is working with
Dukcapil (Directorate General of Population and
Using the Biometric System in the Implementation of Digitalization in Pension Payment Services
