203. To ask the Minister for Social Protection if his attention has been drawn to the fact that when a person is no longer in receipt of part-time job incentive, this payment is still taken into account when calculating a family income settlement, FIS, payment; if he will intervene in this matter in order that a person can receive the correct entitlement to family income supplement; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Family Income Supplement (FIS) section incorrectly calculated the FIS entitlement of the person concerned as it included the part time job incentive payment in its calculation

The FIS claim for the person concerned has been reviewed and their weekly payment will increase to €196.00.

FIS arrears will issue to their designated Bank Account this Thursday.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
