Child assistance payments

Responsibility : Régie des rentes du Québec

If you have dependent children, you must notify the Régie des rentes du Québec of any change in your conjugal situation, since it may change the amount of child assistance payments to which you are entitled. The amount of the payments will be backdated to the first day of the month following the change. However, you will have to wait for 90 days from the date of a separation to notify the Régie of the change.

You can notify the Régie des rentes du Québec of a change :

§                                 by using its on-line services;
§                                 by completing the required forms and sending them to the Régie. 

Note

 You must also notify the Canada Revenue Agency, which is responsible for the Canada Child Tax Benefit.
