The total number of Family Income Supplement (FIS) claimants and Back to Work Family Dividend (BTWFD) recipients is as follows:

BTWFD12,920
FIS57,257
BTWFD and FIS9,799

Not all recipients of BTWFD would automatically qualify for FIS as there are differences in the specific qualifying conditions for each scheme.
