The total number of Family Income Supplement (FIS) claimants and Back to Work Family Dividend (BTWFD) recipients is as follows:
BTWFD | 12,920 |
---|---|
FIS | 57,257 |
BTWFD and FIS | 9,799 |
Not all recipients of BTWFD would automatically qualify for FIS as there are differences in the specific qualifying conditions for each scheme.
