Working Family Payment (formerly Family Income Supplement ) is a weekly in-work payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children.
An application for Working Family Payment (WFP) was received from the person concerned on 03 October 2018.
Their application was referred to a local Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for further clarification on 14 December 2018. The relevant SWI office was contacted on 08 January 2019 in relation to this application and it has been confirmed that this case will be prioritised.
On receipt of the completed report from the SWI, their WFP application will be processed without delay and the person concerned will be notified of the decision.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
