Working Family Payment (formerly Family Income Supplement) is a weekly tax free payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children. In order to qualify for WFP, an applicant must have a qualified child and be engaged in full-time paid employment as an employee for not less than 38 hours per fortnight.

Working Family Payment for the person concerned was due for renewal from 24 June 2020 and from the information provided, they did not satisfy qualifying conditions for the scheme. 

The person concerned has appealed the decision and we await the outcome of this appeal.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
