Hi, My husband is unemployed for the last 2 years and is claiming for me and our 4 kids. I have just started a job and am wondering if I can claim FIS (Family Income Supplement) and how will this affect his payment. Thanks.

He will need to let SW know that you are working as your means from work will need to be assessed against his claim.

There will be an overpayment but it shouldnt be much and he can pay it back weekly. When applying for FIS your husbands jobseekers will also be taken into account.
