294. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application by a person (details supplied) for family income support. [36121/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned made an application for Family Income Supplement (FIS) on 28 July 2016.
Although his entitlement was determined promptly by my Department, there was a delay in issuing the payment due because the person in question did not provide appropriate details of his preferred payment method on the application form. My Department now has received the necessary payment details and payment of FIS due, including arrears, has issued to the person in question.
I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
