You can be a caregiver for your spouse, de facto or “pacs” (civil union) partner, your or your spouse’s ascendant or descendant, or your or your spouse’s collateral relative (pop up définition) up to the 4^th degree.

Si vous êtes ou avez été affilié à plusieurs régimes de retraite qui prévoient cette majoration de durée d’assurance, un seul d’entre eux vous l’attribuera.

• Vous vous êtes occupé d’une personne handicapée de façon permanente ou non.
• Et vous avez cessé totalement votre activité professionnelle pour venir en aide à la personne handicapée, pendant une durée minimale de 30 mois consécutifs.

D’autres conditions s’ajoutent à celles-ci.

Si vous êtes la famille de la personne handicapée :

• vous devez être assuré social et justifier d'un lien familial avec la personne handicapée. Celle-ci peut être votre conjoint, concubin ou partenaire pacsé, votre ascendant ou descendant (ou celui de votre conjoint), votre collatéral (pop up explication) jusqu'au 4e degré (ou celui de votre conjoint).
•  la personne aidée est âgée d’au moins 20 ans, bénéficie des aides humaines de la prestation de compensation du handicap (PCH) et ne vous emploie pas en tant que salarié.

Si vous n’avez pas de lien de parenté avec la personne handicapée :

• vous apportez cette aide à titre non professionnel, au domicile de la personne handicapée,
• et la personne aidée bénéficie de l’allocation compensation tierce personne (ACTP).

For each period of 30 calendar months as a caregiver for a disabled adult, your length of insurance (pop up définition) can be credited with an additional quarter, up to a maximum of 8 quarters total. These quarters can be credited to different family caregivers.

Example :

A couple has taken a disabled adult into their home for 90 months:

• Spouse A’s length of insurance can be credited with an additional quarter for the 1st 30-month period,
• Spouse B can be credited for the 2nd 30-month period,
• Spouse A can be credited for the final period.

For this to occur, each of the spouses must prove that s/he provided ongoing care to the disabled person for the period(s) s/he is claiming.

The additional quarters that are credited toward your length of insurance as a caregiver for a disabled adult do not count toward your entitlement to early retirement for a long career.

However, they can be granted at the same time as all other insurance length increases.

Example :

A woman who has raised a disabled child and continued to care for that child after his/her 20th birthday can be credited with up to 24 additional quarters if she meets the eligibility requirements :

• 8 additional quarters to care for a child,
• 8 additional quarters to care for a disabled child,
• 8 additional quarters to care for a disabled adult.
