We understand that the death of a child is a deeply moving event. If your child died in Québec, the Directeur de l'état civil will inform us. No further action is required from you. If the death occurred outside Québec, we ask that you
call us to inform us.
As of 1 July 2025, following the death of your minor child, we will extend the Family Allowance payments and, if applicable, the Supplement for Handicapped Children and the Supplement for Handicapped Children Requiring Exceptional Care for a period of 12 months following the month of death or, if the child was age 17, until he or she would have reached age 18.
