Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 November 2023
102. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will be made on a working family payment application by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [51228/23]
View answerWorking 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 1 qualified child who normally resides with them and the customer must 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 9th November 2023.
Arrears due to the person concerned from the date of renewal have been issued.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
