Working Family Payment (WFP) is an in-work weekly payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children.
Unfortunately, the PPSN provided by the Deputy did not match the other details provided. The department attempted to contact the Deputy to clarify the position.
Based on the other information provided a claim has been identified.
An application for WFP was received from that individual on 5th September 2022. Further information was requested by the Department. On receipt of the information a Deciding Officer reviewed the application, and the WFP claim was awarded at a rate of €160.00 per week from 8th September 2022 to 6th September 2023. The person concerned has been advised of their award in writing and arrears have issued to their nominated bank account.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
