Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 May 2018
251. Deputy Colm Brophy asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when a decision will issue in respect of an application by a person (details supplied) for family income supplement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [21859/18]
View answerWorking Family Payment (WFP), formerly known as Family Income Supplement, is a weekly tax-free payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children. WFP is paid for fifty-two weeks and a person must re-apply at the end of each fifty-two week period to have their payment renewed. The Working Family Payment of the person concerned is due for renewal on 14th June 2018 when her weekly payment will increase to €65 per week. I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
