Working Family Payment (WFP) 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 one qualified child who normally resides with them.
An application for WFP was received by the department on 8th May 2024. Further information was requested by the deciding officer on 24th May 2024. When the requested information is received, a deciding officer will review the claim and the person concerned will be advised in writing of the claim decision, if awarded, any payments owed will be issued as arrears to their nominated bank account.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
