Forms concerning Family Allowance

Application for Family Allowance Payments

This form allows you to file an Application for Family Allowance.

For any child born in Québec after 31 December 2006, you do not need to file an application for Family Allowance. The Directeur de l'état civil notifies Retraite Québec of all Québec births and registration for Family Allowance is made automatically.
