Working Family Payment (formerly known as Family Income Supplement) is a weekly tax free payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children.

An application for Working Family Payment (WFP) was received from the person concerned on 25 November 2017.

The person concerned has now been awarded WFP with effect from 5 October 2017 to 3 October 2018.

The first payment will issue to the nominated bank account on Thursday 22 February 2018 and any arrears owing will issue shortly.

I trust this clarifies the mater for the Deputy.
