Working Family Payment renewal

mrsmammy4 — Mon, 01 Nov 2021 17:24:51 +0000

Hi . I’m looking for some help . I was awarded WFP February gone . I know I’ll be sent a renewal form 8 weeks before the end date . I’m just wondering what do they look for ? We are so short staffed at work since August that I’m having to do extra hours . Just a bit worried that it’ll affect my WFP renewal because as soon as we aren’t short staffed my hours go back to normal . Thanks

My Parents Recieve FIS , Does That Mean I Can't Get A Part Time Job?

My parents receive Fis im not quite sure about all the details but i know we do, Im 17 and looking for a part time job and my mam has told me i cant because then she'll get less money , my brothers in college and also has the' susie' grant so she threatens me that if i was to get a job my brother could not afford college. I have no real insight it to this but my mother likes to lie and i'm not sure if it's true , if so will i not be able to have a job until i leave job , this frightens me as i will have no experience. I hate relying on my parents for the little money that we do have. SO is what my mothers telling me is true , what can I do?

Short hours to qualify for FIS

My head is completely fried over this. I work for an organisation funded by the HSE. My contracted hours are 35 per fortnight (17.5 per week) and I have no prospect of them being increased - I have asked. My husband is on JA and we have two small children. Even with the Haddington Road situation my hours would only increase to 37 per fortnight (18.5 per week), therefore still short a half an hour. (I can of course choose to take a pay cut rather than work the extra hours meaning a cut of 30 euro per fortnight after tax)

My question is this. Is it possible for me to make up the shortage of hours by getting a couple of hours work with someone, say, my father who is self employed. What would the implications for him be? I presume I would also have to produce payslips from this employment etc. We really are at our wits end, like a lot of people. MABS have looked at our income & expenditure and apparently there isn't any more we could do to save money.

Thanks in advance for your help

Fis question

If you don't return the fis newal form, can you make an new clam with a first time form soon after? Is it better to do this if you know you are getting a pay cut in a couple of months ?

Illness Benifit

I am currently off sick from work and will be for the next while. However my OH is on maternity benifit at the moment and recieves €270.00 per week. I have applied for Illness benifit and have been told I will recieve €196.00 and half amount for the three kids. I was wondering if I could claim my OH as a qualified adult and thus increasing the amount for the qualified children. Also I was woinding if we could claim FIS as and extra benifit? Would really apprecieate any feed back that yo could provide.

FIS - anybody know?

With the change in the budget raising the FIS income limits by €6 per child, will this have an effect on all current recipients (meaning a raise??) or does it just apply for new applicants from January?

Thanks in advance
