Parents of the 1 yr old deposit the check in the 1 yr old’s bank account, that is if the 1 yr old is lucky. There’s no requirement to do this so far as I know. A child’s guardian simply files his\/her PFD application, claims the number of children in the household, and accepts fiduciary control over the check that arrives for each<\/em> eligible applicant in the house ($1884 per person this year!).<\/p>\nAh, but in order for the child to get a check, his\/her guardian must be eligible themselves. So kids with deadbeat parents get nothing. Kinda sux if you ask me, given children are born tabula rasa<\/em>, but rules are rules and when they were made nobody asked me.<\/p>\nBut there is no rule to prevent guardians from pocketing for themselves what is nominally the kids’ money.<\/p>\n

Are you kidding me — let’s party!”<\/p>\nFor your general amusement, the classic video: “Oh-yeah, well when I was a child…” (LtoR: Tim-Brook Taylor, John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman).
