A handicapped child

The purpose of the supplement for handicapped children is to provide financial assistance for families to help with the care and education of a handicapped child. The handicap must significantly limit the child in carrying out daily activities for a period expected to last for at least 1 year.

The supplement for handicapped children

• This financial assistance is paid to all families with a child under 18 who is deemed to be handicapped by the Régie. The amount is the same for all children, regardless of the handicap or family income. To be eligible, certain requirements must be met.
• In 2012, the amount of the supplement is 179 $ a month for each handicapped child.
• To make an Application for a Supplement for Handicapped Children, you must fill out the appropriate form and return it to the Régie.
