How is money deposited into a 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...

The money put into the Coogan account happens automatically. It is either state regulated or federally regulated, depending on what state you are in. It works the same way that taxes do. They are withheld from the check that gets sent to the agent, the manager or if the check is sent to the parents. That money will have automatically been taken out.
