Working Family Payment (WFP) is an in-work weekly payment which provides additional income support to employees, on low earnings, with children.
An application for WFP renewal was received from the person on 22nd June 2022.
Further employment information was requested from the person on 15th July 2022. The Department received a reply to this request on 29th July 2022.
On 16th August 2022 a deciding officer reviewed the application, and the person was awarded WFP from 23rd June 2022 at a rate of €211.00 weekly. Any arrears due have issued to the person nominated bank account. A letter was issued to the home address of the person informing her of the decision.
The rate of WFP awarded will continue for 52 weeks providing the person continues to meet the eligibility requirements of the WFP scheme.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
