Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 January 2019
1078. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when a decision will be made in relation to an application for a working family payment by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1046/19]
View answerWorking Family Payment (WFP) is an in-work payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children.
An application for WFP was received from the person concerned on 5 November 2018.
In order to process their WFP application, further details are required in respect of their current employment.
The Department has written to the person concerned on 7 January 2019 and has requested 2 current payslips.
On receipt of the requested documents from the applicant, their WFP application will be processed without delay and they will be notified of the decision.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
