Working Family Payment (WFP) is a weekly in-work payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children relative to their family size.WFP is designed to prevent in-work poverty for low paid workers with child dependents and to offer a financial incentive to take up employment.

There are currently 52,074 persons (families) in receipt of WFP.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
