471. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Social Protection the current status of the working family payment for a person (details supplied) and when will a decision be made; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29270/24]
View answerWorking Family Payment (WFP), formerly Family Income Supplement, is a weekly in-work support which provides an income top-up for employees on low earnings with children. To qualify for Working Family Payment the customer must have at least 1 qualified child who normally resides with them and be working a minimum of 38 hours per fortnight in ongoing insurable employment.
A review of WFP for the person concerned has been completed and the claim has been awarded from 30th May 2024.
Arrears due to the person concerned from 30th May 2024 have issued.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
