Working Family Payment (WFP) 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 person must be working a minimum of 38 hours per fortnight in ongoing insurable employment and have at least one qualified child who normally resides with them.
An application for WFP was received from the person concerned on 14th September 2023. A deciding officer has reviewed the application and requested further information. When the requested information is received, a deciding officer will be in a position to determine entitlement to WFP and advise the person concerned of their decision.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
