The 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.
