MyCast&Crew: Registering and Managing a Minor's Trust Account Information

Learn how to add a minor’s trust account information in MyCast&Crew and easily manage their information.

rust accounts, also known as Block Trust Accounts and Coogan Accounts, are required by law in many states. If your state requires you to set up a trust account for the minor, you can add their information to the minor’s MyCast&Crew profile under the Trust Account tab. 

A couple of things to keep in mind: 

• The trust account is not the same as a direct deposit. These are two very distinct things, in which the minor can have both. Learn more about managing the minor’s information here. 

• Trust accounts are required by law in these states: 

• • California 
  • New York 
  • Illinois 
  • Louisiana
  • New Mexico 

• If the minor has multiple trust accounts, you can only set up 1 as the primary default in the system.
