Michael H G: 1:00pm Oct 19, 2007: A mon avis c'est 'Family Allowance' car il est question des besoins du ménage et des enfants et non de logement.

married couple's / person with children's allowance

Explanation:
Looks like this is specific to Switzerland - given for married couples and/or those with children who have a home to pay for or live in with the employer. I'd be very surprised if there was any real equivalent in the English-speaking world.
