Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 July 2026
286. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will review the case of a person (details supplied); if he will provide an update on the working family payment application in question; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53974/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraWorking 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 have at least one qualified child who normally resides with them and be working a minimum of 38 hours per fortnight in ongoing insurable employment.
An application for WFP was received from the person concerned on 29 June 2026.
The Deciding Officer has requested additional information from the person concerned. The WFP claim will be processed when all required information is received.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
