To qualify for Working Family Payment, the customer must have at least one qualified child who normally resides with them and be working a minimum of 38 hours per fortnight in ongoing insurable employment.
An application from the person concerned was received on 26 March 2024, a review has been completed and the claim has been awarded from 28 March 2024.
Arrears due to the person concerned from the 28 March 2024 have issued.
