Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 September 2022
399. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on a review of a working family payment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45141/22]
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.
A review of WFP for the person concerned has been completed and the claim has been awarded from 25th August 2022.
Arrears due to the person concerned from the date of renewal have been issued.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
