Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
1190. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will review an application for a working family payment for a person (details supplied); if she will expedite same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44240/22]
View answerWorking Family Payment (WFP), formerly Family Income Supplement, 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 be working a minimum of 38 hours per fortnight in ongoing insurable employment.
I am advised that there is no record of an application for Working Family Payment from the person concerned. The quickest way to apply for Working Family Payment is online using the MyWelfare.ie service.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
