The Quebec Family Allowance

The Quebec family allowance is a non-taxable monthly payment intended specifically for low-income families in Quebec.

It is calculated on the basis of family income for the preceding year, the number of children (under 18 years of age), and family type (single-parent or two-parent).

For all births, adoptions, and changes of custody (excluding government departments, agencies, or institutions), you have to complete the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency's Form RC66, Canada Child Tax Benefit Application.

Whether or not you are entitled to the Canada Child Tax Benefit, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency will automatically send the Régie des rentes du Québec all the information needed to register your children for the Quebec family allowance.
