Byddwn yn cyflwyno trothwy enillion a fydd yn golygu bod aelwydydd sy'n cael Credyd Cynhwysol sydd ag enillion net blynyddol o £7,400 neu lai yn deillio o gyflogaeth neu hunangyflogaeth, yn gymwys i gael prydau ysgol am ddim. Nid yw'r swm enillion net yn cynrychioli holl incwm aelwyd gan nad yw'n cynnwys incwm o fudd-daliadau, sy'n cynyddu cyfanswm incwm aelwyd yn sylweddol. Yn ddibynnol ar beth yn union yw ei amgylchiadau, byddai gan deulu nodweddiadol sy'n ennill tua £7,400 y flwyddyn gyfanswm o rhwng £18,000 a £24,000 o incwm i'r aelwyd unwaith y cymerir budd-daliadau i ystyriaeth.
We will introduce an earnings threshold which will mean that households on Universal Credit who have annualised net earnings from employment or self employment of £7,400 or less will be entitled to free school meals. The net earnings amount does not represent a household’s total income as it does not include income from benefits, which significantly increase a household’s overall income. A typical family earning around £7,400 per annum would, depending on their exact circumstances, have a total household income of between £18,000 and £24,000 once benefits are taken into account.
