9.1. Every family in which a third or subsequent child, during the second or third month of a given quarter, either becomes the first or second child of the family by reason of the death of another child or dies, continues to be entitled to the payment of the allowance referred to in section 9 for the following quarter provided that it was entitled to a family allowance in respect of the child for the last month of the quarter concerned or for the month preceding the child’s death and that the person who received the allowance has his principal residence in Québec in the last month of the quarter concerned.
However, the first paragraph does not apply to a child who becomes the second child in the family on a date prior to the date of the birthday or anniversary referred to in section 8.1; in such a case, if the family has been entitled to only one quarterly payment in respect of that child, section 11 applies as if the change in rank occurred for a cause other than the death of another child in the family.
