Working Family Payment (WFP) is a weekly tax-free payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children.

An application for WFP was received from the person concerned on 02 November 2018.

Further information is required to process the application and the case was referred to a local Social Welfare Officer (SWI) on 21st November 2018.

On receipt of the completed report from the SWI , their WFP application will be processed without delay and the person concerned will be notified of the decision.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
