Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 December 2025
537. Deputy Louis O'Hara asked the Minister for Social Protection if a person’s (details supplied) working family payment claim will be reviewed, given that they are working in excess of 38 weeks per fortnight; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [73325/25]
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 be working a minimum of 38 hours per fortnight in ongoing insurable employment and have at least 1 qualified child who normally resides with them.
A review has been raised on the WFP application for the person concerned and the Deciding Officer has contacted them directly for additional information. Once this has been received the Deciding Officer can make a decision on the claim.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
