2020-10-29

17.1. A parent who has begun to receive or has already received benefits relating to a birth or an adoption under the employment insurance plan or a plan established by another province or a territory is not entitled to benefits under this plan for that birth or adoption.

The Conseil de gestion may, by regulation, determine the conditions governing how the parental insurance plan is to be applied when one of the parents is not resident in Québec at the time an application for benefits under that plan or a plan mentioned in the first paragraph is filed. It may, to that end, take into account the applicant’s place of residence at the beginning of the benefit period or at any other time according to the terms and conditions it determines.

17.1. A parent who has begun to receive or has already received benefits relating to a birth or an adoption under the employment insurance plan or a plan established by another province or a territory is not entitled to benefits under this plan for that birth or adoption.

The application of one of those plans in respect of the parent mentioned in the first paragraph entails the application of the same plan in respect of the other parent, regardless of the latter parent’s place of residence at the beginning of the benefit period, subject to the exceptions determined by regulation of the Conseil de gestion. The regulation may also prescribe the manner in which the parental insurance plan applies in exceptional cases.
