Introduction Family Income Supplement (FIS) is a weekly tax-free payment available to employees with children. It gives extra financial support to people on low pay. You cannot qualify for FIS if you are only self-employed - you must be an employee to qualify. You must have at least one child who normally lives with you or is financially supported by you. Your child must be under 18 years of age or between 18 and 22 years of age and in full-time education. To qualify for FIS, your average weekly family income must be below a certain amount for your family size. The FIS you receive is 60% of the difference between your average weekly family income and the income limit which applies to your family. For more information about average family income see ‘Rates’ below. Your FIS payment is not taxed. If you are getting FIS you may also be entitled to the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance. Your income from FIS is not taken into account in the assessment for a medical card. The new Back to Work Family Dividend (BTWFD) and FIS can be paid together and the BTWFD will not be taken into account in the income test for FIS. Budget 2016 From 7 January 2016, the Family Income Supplement income threshold increased by €5 for the first child per week. The threshold for two or more children increased by €10. Rules FIS is a tax-free weekly payment for employees who: - Work 38 or more hours per fortnight (any combination of hours that reaches 38 hours each fortnight is acceptable). You can combine your weekly hours with your spouse, civil partner, cohabitant's hours to meet this condition. You cannot use time spent in self-employment (or on Community Employment, Gateway, Tús, JobBridge or the Rural Social Scheme) to meet this condition. - Where the employment is likely to last at least 3 months - Have one or more children who normally live with you and - Earn less than an amount set according to your family size You must be employed in the Irish State and pay tax and PRSI here. Under EU regulations you may be able to claim FIS if your children are living abroad and dependent on you. Generally the payment continues for one year (52 weeks) and is not affected by, for example, an increase or a decrease in earnings. However, in the following 2 circumstances, your weekly rate of FIS can be revised during the year: - If you start to care for an additional child your FIS rate can be increased. - If you were getting a One-Parent Family Payment and your payment stopped because your youngest child reached the relevant OFP age limit your FIS rate can be revised (by disregarding the rate of OFP assessed in your most recent FIS income test). If you lose your job or have reduced working hours If your pay from work is reduced your Family Income Supplement (FIS) payment will stay the same. It will not increase. However, when your FIS payment ends you can re-apply giving details of your new reduced income. (FIS is usually paid for 52 weeks. At the end of the 52 weeks, you can re-apply for FIS.) If the number of hours you work each week is reduced to below 38 hours per fortnight you are no longer entitled to FIS. You should notify the FIS section if your hours fall below this minimum requirement. If you lose your job you are no longer entitled to FIS. You must notify the FIS section. Getting FIS with other social welfare payments You cannot get FIS if you are on one of the following schemes or social welfare payments: Your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant can claim FIS while you are getting one of these payments. However an Increase for a Qualified Adult (IQA) will no longer be paid and your social welfare payment will be assessed as income for their FIS payment. Any Increase for a Qualified Child will be affected. Similarly if your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is getting one of these payments, you can qualify for FIS but an IQA will no longer be paid for you. If you are parenting alone you may be entitled to FIS in addition to your One-Parent Family Payment, Deserted Wife's Benefit or Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's (Contributory) Pension. You can get FIS while you are taking part in the Part-Time Job Incentive Scheme. You can get Illness Benefit or Injury Benefit while you are getting FIS (for 6 consecutive weeks). If you are out of work for more than 6 consecutive weeks payment of FIS is suspended until you return to work and send a final certificate into the Illness Benefit or Occupational Injury Benefit section or until your FIS award period expires (whichever is the earlier). Under the Maternity Protection Act 1994, a woman on maternity or adoptive leave is entitled to be treated as if she is in employment. This means that she can claim FIS (provided she meets the conditions of the FIS payment and has a family – a pregnant woman who has no other children does not qualify for FIS until the birth of the baby). Your income must be less than the income limit for your family size and is normally calculated using your gross earnings to date or your P60. Your FIS claim will then be paid for 52 weeks from the date you applied. You are not entitled to continue to claim FIS if you take additional unpaid maternity or adoptive leave, if you lose your job after returning to work or give up your employment. Maintenance A separated parent can apply for FIS once he or she meets the qualifying conditions and Is living with the children or Is wholly maintaining the ex-spouse, ex-civil partner or ex-cohabitant with whom the children are living Wholly maintaining means that maintenance paid by you, the FIS applicant, must be the main income of your ex-spouse, ex-civil partner or ex-cohabitant. Your former spouse or partner cannot have more than €100 a week income in their own right and cannot be married, in a civil partnership or cohabiting. FIS is awarded for 52 weeks. A person included in your FIS award cannot be paid FIS in their own right or be included in another FIS claim during that 52 week period. Paying maintenance If you are a separated parent and paying maintenance you may qualify for FIS. To qualify you must be wholly maintaining the parent with whom the children are living. Only one FIS payment can be made for a family so the parent to whom you are paying maintenance must not be getting FIS. You must supply written evidence from this person to show that they are getting maintenance. If you are paying maintenance as a result of a court order or legally binding agreement for a second family, the amount of that maintenance payment will not be deducted from the income to be assessed for FIS. Getting maintenance If you are getting maintenance, your total maintenance payment will be assessed as income for FIS. This includes situations where rent or mortgage payments are made by an ex-spouse or partner under a maintenance agreement. If a house is in joint names and an ex-spouse or partner pays the mortgage 50% of this will be assessed as income for FIS. Only one FIS payment can be made for a family. This means that the parent from whom you are getting maintenance must not be getting FIS. A parent getting maintenance for a qualified child will also have that maintenance assessed for FIS. Rates FIS is calculated on the basis of 60% of the difference between the income limit for the family size and the assessable income of the person(s) raising the child(ren). The combined income of a couple (married, in a civil partnership or cohabiting) is taken into account. Income from any source (except for the disregards stated below) is assessed. The FIS income test does not assess capital. This includes property you own, bank accounts and cars. The Department of Social Protection does assess income you get from tenants who rent a property you own, it may examine your bank accounts to check for other income sources and it may assess income derived from use of a car that you own (for example as a taxi). The main items counted as income are: - Your assessable earnings and your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant's assessable earnings. (Assessable earnings are gross pay minus tax, employee PRSI, Universal Social Charge and superannuation (including the Public Service Pension Levy.) Income from working as a home help is included. - Any extra income you or your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant have from employment (such as pay for overtime, bonuses, allowances or commission). - Any income you or your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant may have from self-employment. - Income from occupational pensions. - Income you or your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant may have including social welfare payments and student grants. - All family income from carer's payments (Carer's Allowance or Carer's Benefit). - Rental income from the letting of property or land (the capital value is not assessed). The gross rental income is assessed and you cannot deduct mortgage payments or other expenses. Rental income from renting a room in your house is included. The following payments do not count as family income: Calculating income for FIS The Department of Social Protection (DSP) calculates your assessable earnings over a certain period of time. Because FIS is paid over 52 weeks the DSP tries to calculate your average earnings over a similar period of time. Normally they will use your latest P60 or your gross earnings up to the date of your application. If you are newly in employment, your average weekly income is calculated from when you started work with that employer. Your P60 is also used to calculate your average weekly income when your claim is being renewed. If your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is self-employed, his or her income over the 12-month period before you lodge your claim is used to work out his or her average weekly income. Again, to qualify, your average weekly family income must be below a certain amount for your family size. You can read examples of calculations on welfare.ie. FIS income limits in 2016 It's important to be aware, that if you qualify for FIS, you get a minimum of €20 each week. You can use the Benefit of Work Ready Reckoner from the Department of Social Protection to help you assess out the financial consequences of taking up full-time work. The Reckoner works out the total amount you would receive on taking up full-time work (including any Family Income Supplement) and compares this to what you are getting in jobseeker payments (including Rent Supplement). If you are getting FIS you may also be entitled to the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance.

Eolas Íocaíocht sheachtainiúil saor ó cháin é an Forlíonadh Ioncam Teaghlaigh (FIT) atá ar fáil d’fhostaithe a bhfuil clann acu. Tugann sé tacaíocht bhreise airgeadais do dhaoine atá ar ísealphá. Ní féidir leat cáiliú don FIT má tá tú ach féinfhostaithe – ní mór duit bheith i d’fhostaí chun cáiliú. Ní mór duit ar a laghad leanbh amháin a bheith agat a chónaíonn leat de ghnáth nó a dtugaíonn tú tacaíocht airgeadais dó/di. Ní mór do do leanbh bheith faoi 18 mbliana d’aois nó idir 18 agus 22 bhliain d’aois agus in oideachas lánaimseartha. Chun cáiliú don FIT, ní mór do do mheánioncam seachtainiúil teaghlaigh bheith faoi bhun suim áirithe do mhéid do theaghlaigh. Is ionann an FIT a gheobhaidh tú agus 60% den difríocht idir do ghlanioncam teaghlaigh agus teorainn an ioncaim a bhaineann le do theaghlach. Chun teacht ar thuilleadh faisnéise faoi ghlanioncam teaghlaigh, féach ‘Rátaí’ thíos. Má tá FIT á fháil agat, d’fhéadfá bheith i dteideal an Liúntas Éadaí agus Coisbhirt chun Filleadh ar Scoil a fháil chomh maith. Ní chuirtear d’ioncam ón FIT san áireamh sa mheasúnú do chárta leighis. I 2014, fógraíodh go n-áireofar ioncam ó íocaíochtaí seachtainiúla cúramóra nuair a bheidh an teidlíocht i leith an Fhorlíonta Ioncam Teaghlaigh á ríomh (féach Rátaí thíos le haghaidh sonraí). Rialacha Íocaíocht sheachtainiúil shaor ó cháin é an FIT d’fhostaithe: - A dhéanann 19 n-uaire an chloig a oibre ar a laghad sa tseachtain (nó 38 uair an chloig ar a laghad in aghaidh na coicíse). Is féidir leat na huaireanta seachtainiúla a d’oibrigh tú a shuimiú le huaireanta do chéile, do pháirtnéara shibhialta nó do chomháititheora chun an coinníoll seo a shásamh. Ní féidir leat am a chaith tú i mbun féinfhostaíochta a úsáid chun an coinníoll seo a shásamh. - Sa chás gur dóigh go mairfidh fostaíocht 3 mhí ar a laghad - A bhfuil leanbh amháin ar a laghad faoina gcúram, agus - A thuilleann níos lú ná suim ar leith ar a dtagann athrú de réir mhéid an teaghlaigh. Go hiondúil, leanann an íocaíocht ar feadh bliana agus ní thagann aon athrú uirthi de bharr ardú pá, mar shampla, méadú nó laghdú ar thuillimh. Sa dá chúinse a leanas, áfach, féadtar do ráta seachtainiúil den FIT a athbhreithniú le linn na bliana: - Má thosaíonn tú le cúram a thabhairt do leanbh breise, méadófar do ráta FIT (mar gheall gur tháinig méadú ar mhéid do theaghlaigh) - Má bhí Íocaíocht Teaghlach Aontuismitheora á fáil agat agus má cuireadh stop le d’íocaíocht mar gheall gur bhain do leanbh is óige an aosteorainn ábhartha amach, féadtar do ráta FIT a athbhreithniú chun caillteanas d’ÍTA a chur san áireamh. Má chailleann tú do phost nó má tá uaireanta laghdaithe oibre agat Má laghdaítear do phá san ionad oibre, ní thiocfaidh aon athrú íocaíochta ar an bhForlíonadh Ioncam Teaghlaigh (FIT). Ní bheidh méadú i gceist. Mar sin féin, nuair a chríochnaíonn d'íocaíocht FIT, is féidir leat iarratas a dhéanamh in athuair ag tabhairt sonraí faoi d’ioncam nua laghdaithe. (Is gnách go n-íoctar an FIT ar feadh 52 seachtain. Ag deireadh na 52 seachtain, is féidir leat athchur isteach ar an Má laghdaítear na huaireanta oibre a oibríonn tú gach seachtain go dtí faoi bhun 19 n-uaire in aghaidh na seachtaine (38 uair in aghaidh na coicíse), ní bheidh tú i dteideal an FIT a fháil a thuilleadh. Ba chóir duit fógra a thabhairt don rannnóg FIT má thiteann do chuid uaireanta faoi bhun an riachtanais íosta. Má chailleann tú do phost ní bheidh tú i dteideal an FIT a fháil a thuilleadh. Ní mór duit fógra a thabhairt don rannóg FIT. An FIT a fháil le híocaíocht eile leasa shóisialaigh Ní féidir leat an FIT a fháil má tá ceann amháin de na híocaíochtaí leasa shóisialaigh a leanas á bhfáil agat: Má tá ceann de na híocaíochtaí seo á bhfáil ag do chéile, do pháirtí sibhialta nó do chomháititheoir, is féidir leat a bheith i dteideal an FIT a fháil. Déanfar measúnú ar a n-íocaíocht leasa shóisialaigh, áfach, amhail ioncam ar mhaithe le cuspóirí an FIT. Má cháilítear thú don FIT, ní bhfaighidh siad íocaíocht duit a thuilleadh agus beidh tionchar aige seo ar aon Mhéadú i leith Leanbh Cáilithe. Má tá tú i do thuismitheoir i d’aonair, d’fhéadfá bheith i dteideal an FIT sa mhullach ar d’Íocaíocht Teaghlach Aontuismitheora, Sochar Bean Chéile Tréigthe nó Pinsean Baintrí, Baintreach Fir nó Páirtnéara Shibhialta Mharthanaigh (Ranníocach). Faoin Acht um Chosaint Mháithreachais, 1994, tá bean a gcáilítear í do Shochar Máithreachais, Sochar Uchtaíoch nó Sochar Sláinte agus Sábháilteachta i dteideal FIT a éileamh (a fhad agus a chomhlíonann sí na coinníollacha íocaíochta FIT agus go bhfuil clann aici – ní cháilítear bean atá ag iompar clainne nach bhfuil aon leanaí eile aici don FIT go dtí go saolaítear an leanbh). Ní mór go mbeidh d’ioncam faoi bhun na teorann ioncaim ar mhéid do theaghlaigh. (Má tá Sochar Máithreachais á éileamh agat, ríomhtar do mheántuillimh sheachtainiúla trí d'olltuillimh a úsáid go dtí seo nó trí do P60 a úsáid). Íocfar ansin d’éileamh ar FIT ar feadh bliain amháin ó thús d’íocaíochta Sochar Máithreachais (má tá leanbh agat cheana féin) nó nuair a shaolaítear do leanbh, más é/í do chéad leanbh. Níl tú i dteideal leanúint leis an FIT a éileamh má ghlacann tú le saoire bhreise mháithreachais nó uchtaíoch neamhíoctha, mura bhfilleann tú ar an obair i ndiaidh saoire mháithreachais nó uchtaíoch nó má chailleann tú do phost tar éis filleadh ar an obair. Cothabháil Is féidir le tuismitheoir scartha cur isteach ar an FIT a luaithe a chomhlíonann siad na coinníollacha cáilitheacha agus - go bhfuil siad ina gcónaí leis na leanaí nó - Go bhfuil cothabháil iomlán á híoc acu don iarchéile, iarpháirtnéir nó iar-chomháititheoir lena gcónaíonn na leanaí Ciallaíonn cothabháil iomlán a íoc nach mór don chothabháil a íocann tú, an t-iarratasóir ar an FIT, bheith an t-aon ioncam atá ag d’iarchéile, iarpháirtnéir sibhialta nó ag d’iar-chomháititheoir. Ní féidir ach íocaíocht FIT amháin a dhéanamh do theaghlach Cothabháil a íoc Más tuismitheoir scartha thú agus má tá cothabháil á híoc agat, d’fhéadfá cáiliú don FIT. Chun cáiliú, ní mór duit cothabháil iomlán a bheith á híoc agat leis an tuismitheoir lena gcónaíonn na leanaí. Ní féidir ach íocaíocht FIT amháin a dhéanamh do theaghlach, níor cheart go mbeadh an FIT á fháil ag an tuismitheoir a bhfuil cothabháil á híoc agat leo. Má tá cothabháil á híoc agat mar thoradh ar ordú cúirte nó comhaontú atá ina cheanglas dlíthiúil don dara teaghlach, ní bhainfear suim na híocaíochta cothabhála sin den ioncam ar a ndéanfar measúnú don FIT. Cothabháil a fháil Má tá cothabháil á fáil agat, déanfar measúnú ar shuim iomlán d'íocaíochta cothabhála amhail ioncam don FIT. Ní féidir ach íocaíocht FIT amháin a dhéanamh do theaghlach, níor cheart go mbeadh an FIT á fháil ag an tuismitheoir óna bhfuil cothabháil á fáil. Ina theannta sin, déanfar measúnú ar thuismitheoir a fhaigheann cothabháil do leanbh cáilithe i leith an FIT. Rataí Ríomhtar an FIT ar bhonn 60% den difríocht idir an teorainn ioncaim do mhéid an teaghlaigh agus ioncam inmheasúnaithe an duine/na ndaoine ag a bhfuil an leanbh/na leanaí á dtógáil aníos. Cuirtear san áireamh comhioncam lánúine (lanúin phósta, i bpáirtnéireacht shibhialta nó i mbun comháitiú). Déantar ioncam ó aon fhoinse (seachas na foinsí a dtugtar neamhaird dóibh thíos) a mheasúnú amhail maoin. Cé nach ann d’aon rialacha a fhágann as an áireamh measúnú ar chaipiteal, áfach, ní dhéanann an Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí measúnú ar chaipiteal ná scrúdú a dhéanamh ar shonraí do chuntais bhainc nuair a dhéanann tú iarratas ar an FIT.

Ioncam a ríomh don FIT Ríomhann an Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí d’ioncam inmheasúnaithe mar aon le do mheánioncam thar thréimhse áirithe ama. Má fostaíodh le déanaí thú, déantar do mheánioncam seachtainiúil a ríomh ón uair a thosaigh tú ag oibriú. Má bhí tú ag oibriú ar feadh breis agus bliain, ríomhtar do mheánioncam seachtainiúil trí thagairt a dhéanamh do do P60 is déanaí. Ina theannta sin, úsáidtear do P60 chun do mheánioncam seachtainiúil a ríomh nuair a bhíonn athnuachan á déanamh ar d’éileamh. Má tá do chéile, páirtnéir sibhialta nó do chomháitritheoir féinfhostaithe, úsáidtear a (h)ioncam thar an tréimhse 12 mhí sula ndéanann tú d’éileamh chun a m(h)eánioncam seachtainiúil a ríomh. Arís eile, chun cáiliú don FIT, ní mór do do mheánioncam seachtainiúil teaghlaigh bheith faoi bhun suim áirithe do mhéid do theaghlaigh. Féadfaidh tú samplaí de ríomhanna a léamh ar welfare.ie.
