I am completing a CTR for a representative payee and see that BOL says to complete two section A's with the representative payee on the first page and to describe his or her business as "Rep Payee". I am not sure if that means in box 5 DBA or box 13 occupation, profession or business.

According to the Guru Q&A <a href="http://www.bankersonline.com/security/guru2007/gurus_sec121007b.html">"CTR on a Representative Payee Account"</a>, when a representative payee conducts a transaction that requires a CTR the Rep Payee and the Beneficiary should both be put into section A with the Rep Payee also in B as conductor. My supervisor doesn't agree and I need to explain why your answer is correct, but I can't find anything online. Why should the CTR be done the way it is described in the Q&A?

I have a customer that opened three accounts, one for each of her children as they receive Social Security direct deposit benefits. The mother is the signer on each account and the individual child was added as an owner only because they are only nine, eleven and seventeen years of age. The mother wants debit cards in the children’s names so she can keep the account straight as to where she is pulling the money from. Can we issue debit cards to a minor and if so, would the mother have the legal right to use them? How would it be handled if the child’s card was used and they wanted to dispute the transaction?
