Cwestiwn
Mae'r cwestiwn a'r ateb yn Saesneg gan nad oes fersiwn Gymraeg ar gael.
What action is the Minister taking to ensure that no NHS workers are worse off financially as a result of the impact of the Welsh Government's coronavirus bonus payments on their benefit entitlements?

Benefits are a matter for the Department of Work and Pensions and are non-devolved. Representations were made to DWP, which advised the bonus payments could not be made exempt.
Staff were offered the opportunity to receive the bonus payment in instalments or to opt-out entirely. I do however recognise that this will be disappointing for some individuals.
