Working Family Payment (formerly Family Income Supplement) is a weekly in-work 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 11 December 2018.

The Department wrote to the person concerned on 14 January 2019 and has requested additional details in respect of their current employment and housing costs.

On receipt of the requested details from the person concerned, their WFP application will be processed without delay and they will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
