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

The person concerned recently resumed employment.

In order to reinstate WFP further details are required in respect of their current employment.

The Department contacted the person concerned on 22nd November 2018 and has requested written confirmation of their current employment.

On receipt of the requested details from the person concerned, a decision will be made on their entitlement without delay and they will be notified in writing.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
