Application for the Supplement for Handicapped Children

You are entitled to this financial assistance if:

• you are receiving Family Allowance for a child concerned by the application for the Supplement for Handicapped Children.
• the child is under age 18 and has a physical impairment or a mental function disability. The child's condition significantly limits him or her in carrying out his or her life habits compared with what is expected for a child his or her age. The expected duration of the disabilities must be for at least one year. We determine your child's eligibility for the Supplement for Handicapped Children based on certain requirements.

If you do not receive Family Allowance, you can send your Application for Family Allowance Payments and your Application for the Supplement for Handicapped Children at the same time.

For more information on the Supplement for Handicapped Children, consult the A handicapped child section on our website.
