Issuing payment to a minor? A new question has been added to two supplier request forms to address this situation.
You’ll see this update when you request an “Individual Person” supplier type using the Check Request (Tax ID Required) or Non-Catalog Order (Purchase Order) supplier request forms.
The question “To the best of my understanding this supplier is over the age of majority or legally emancipated,” appears. If you select “No,” you’ll be prompted to enter the contact information of the supplier’s legal guardian.
The Supplier Data Management (SDM) team will invite the legal guardian to complete supplier registration using the minor’s legal and tax information, and any payment processed using the supplier record will be made payable to the minor.
Remember, if your supplier is minor, always consult policy PS-01: Programs Involving Children to ensure you have the proper approvals on file.
