Can a child actor's parents withdraw money from their Coogan account?

Gabrielle Schary (Casting Director) gives expert video advice on: How many elimination rounds does a child actor have to survive to get a role?; What should parents do once their child gets a part? and more...

No, that's why it was set up, because many children had turned 18, had worked their whole child lives, and by the time they turned 18 the money was gone. This was a law that was enacted to protect the children to a certain extent. It's not a huge amount of money that is withheld. It's about 20 percent, but it's held for them until they turn 18.
