A father filed a complaint against Retraite Québec, which had not issued all his family allowance.
In the past, he had had full custody of only one of his children, but now all his children lived with him full-time. The father notified Retraite Québec of this change.
Years later, the man learned that his family allowance had never been adjusted. He was still getting the amounts issued for one dependent child.
Because the Protecteur du citoyen intervened with Retraite Québec, the father retroactively received the full amount he should have been getting all those years.
