Working Family Payment (formerly known as Family Income Supplement) is a weekly tax free payment which provides additional income support to employees, on low earnings, with children.

The person concerned reapplied for Working Family Payment through the Department's online application process.

WFP for the person concerned has now been awarded with effect from 14 October 2021.

The first payment issued to the nominated bank account on Thursday 14 October 2021.

I trust this clarifies the mater for the Deputy.
