Working Family Payment (WFP) is an in-work payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with qualified children. To qualify for Working Family Payment, the customer must have at least one qualified child who normally resides with them and be working a minimum of 38 hours per fortnight in ongoing insurable employment.

WFP for the person concerned was due for renewal from 6 March 2025.

The Department wrote to the person concerned on 19 February 2025 to request additional information before a decision could be made. The requested payslips were received and the claim was awarded on 10 March 2025. A decision letter has issued to the customer.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
