What is the Working Family Payment? Working Family Payment (WFP) is a weekly tax-free payment for employees with children. It supports people who are on low pay. WFP used to be called Family Income Supplement (FIS). You must be an employee to get WFP. You cannot get it if you are self-employed only. You must have at least one child who normally lives with you or who you support financially. Your child must be under 18 (or between 18 and 22 if they are in full-time day education). To get WFP, your average weekly family income must be under a certain amount for your family size. The WFP payment you get is 60% of the difference between your average weekly family income and the WFP income limit for your family size. For more information, see ‘Rate of Working Family Payment’ below. WFP is not taxed. WFP is not taken into account in the means test for a medical card.

Under EU regulations you may be able to claim WFP if your children are living abroad and are dependent on you. WFP is paid for one year (52 weeks) as long as you meet the conditions.

Apprenticeships and WFP You can get the Working Family Payment if you are an apprentice as long as you meet the rules for getting WFP - see above.

For the purposes of WFP, apprentices are considered to be in the employment of their employer while in both on-the-job and off-the-job training.

If you were getting a One-Parent Family Payment (OFP) and your payment has stopped because your youngest child has the OFP age limit. Changes at work If your pay from work is reduced, your WFP will stay the same. It will not increase. However, when your WFP ends you can apply again with details of your new lower income. If the number of hours you work each week falls to under 38 hours a fortnight, you are no longer entitled to WFP. You should tell the WFP section of the Department of Social Protection (DSP) if this happens. See ‘Where to apply’ below. If you move to a new job, your current entitlement to WFP will end and you must tell the WFP section of the DSP. You can apply again for WFP for your new job. If you lose your job, you are no longer entitled to WFP. You must tell the WFP section of the DSP. Maintenance and the Working Family Payment If you are a separated parent, you can apply for WFP if you meet the qualifying conditions and: You are living with the children or You are wholly maintaining your ex-spouse, ex-civil partner or ex-cohabitant with whom the children are living Wholly maintaining means that the maintenance paid by you, the WFP applicant, must be the main income of your ex-spouse, ex-civil partner or ex-cohabitant. Your ex-spouse or ex-partner cannot have more than €100 a week income in their own right and cannot be married, in a civil partnership or cohabiting. WFP is awarded to you for 52 weeks. This means that an ex-partner who is included in your WFP claim cannot get WFP in their own right, or be included in another person’s WFP claim, during that 52-week period. Paying maintenance If you are a separated parent and paying maintenance, you may qualify for WFP. To qualify, you must be wholly maintaining the parent who the children are living with. Because only one payment can be made for a family, the parent you are paying maintenance to must not be getting WFP. You must provide written evidence from this person to show that they are getting maintenance from you. If you are paying maintenance for a second family because of a court order or a legally binding agreement, the amount of that maintenance payment will not be deducted from the income to be assessed for WFP. Getting maintenance Maintenance is assessed in the means test for WFP. This includes maintenance for you and maintenance to you for any of your children. If you are getting maintenance from more than one person, all the payments are added together and the total is assessed as your means. Some of the maintenance payment that you spend on housing will not be counted as income for the WFP means test. Your housing costs (your rent or mortgage repayment) up to a maximum of €95.23 per week can be offset against maintenance payments. Half the balance is then assessed as means. You must provide proof of rent or mortgage payments. You can only use (offset) your housing costs in this way for maintenance payments if you have not already used them in a means test for another social welfare payment. Non-cash benefits are not assessed as means. For example, if your rent or mortgage payments are made by an ex-spouse or ex-partner under a maintenance agreement it is not assessed. You can get more information on how maintenance is assessed as means. How to apply for the Working Family Payment To apply fill in an application form for Working Family Payment (pdf). You can get a copy of this form in your Intreo Centre or Social Welfare Branch Office. You can get help filling it in at an Intreo Centre, Social Welfare Branch Office or Citizens Information Centre. To make sure that your application for WFP is processed as quickly as possible, you should send your most recent payslips with your application form. Apply Online You can apply for the Working Family Payment online at MyWelfare.ie if you have a MyGovID verified account. You will need to provide your bank details and information about your (and your partner’s) income and most recent payslips. Appeals If you think you have been wrongly refused WFP, you can appeal this decision.
