Working Family Payment (WFP) is an income tested, in-work, family payment which provides additional financial support to employees on low earnings with children. In order to qualify for WFP, an applicant or the applicant and a spouse, partner or cohabitant must be engaged in fulltime remunerative employment as an employee for not less than 38 hours per fortnight.
To date, I am advised that an application for WFP has not been received by the Department from the persons (family) concerned.
An application-form (WFP 1) has been issued to the family concerned for completion. Alternatively a WFP application-form can be accessed @ www.gov.ie .
On receipt of a completed WFP application from the person(s) concerned, their application will be processed accordingly.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
