This research is descriptive qualitative research with a case study approach. The results showed that the implementation of the non-cash policy in the Central Java Provincial Government carried out the following steps: preparation, implementation, control. Supporting factors in implementation come from communication and financial resources. Meanwhile, human resources, physical resources, dispositions, and bureaucracy need to be evaluated because they can hinder implementation in the Central Java Provincial Government.
