Child Assistance 
 
Child Assistance is a form of financial assistance paid to all eligible 
Québec families with one or more dependent children under 18 years of age. 
 
The payment is calculated on the basis of your family income for the previous 
year, your conjugal status (with or without a spouse), the number of 
dependent children under the age of 18 living with you and the number of 
children in shared custody. 
 
You must file your application for child assistance with the Régie des rentes 
du Québec. You must also inform the Régie of any change in your family 
situation. You do not have to file an application for a new birth in Québec. 
The Registrar of Civil Status will automatically notify the Régie. 
 
You can apply on the Régie's Web site at www.rrq.gouv.qc.ca/enfants or 
contact the Régie to obtain the Application for Child Assistance Payments 
form.
