Amharc ar fhreagraWorking Family Payment (WFP) is an in-work payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children. In order to qualify for WFP, an applicant must have a qualified child and be engaged in full-time paid employment as an employee for not less than 38 hours per fortnight.
Working family payment for the person concerned was renewed from 23rd of May 2019 at a rate of €120 per week, taking the earnings for the person concerned as assessable income.
All Working Family Payment monies have been paid to the person concerned to date.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
