Sec. 115.431  If you are an emancipated minor may you withdraw trust funds 
from your account?

    If you are an emancipated minor, you may have access to some or all 
of your trust funds as follows:
    (a) For judgment per capita funds: you may not make withdrawals from 
your account until you have reached the age specified in the judgment. 
Exceptions are only granted upon the approval of an application made 
under Public Law 97-458. See 25 CFR 1.2.
    (b) Tribal per capita funds: access to these funds will be 
determined by tribal resolution.
    (c) Other trust funds: You may be able to have supervised access to 
some or all of your funds, but the BIA must approve all requests for 
withdrawals from your account. You must work with the BIA to develop a 
distribution

plan to access the funds in your account. In no instance will the BIA 
allow an emancipated minor to make unsupervised withdrawals.
    (d) For funds from other federal agencies (e.g., SSA, SSI, VA), you 
may be able to receive funds directly, but you must contact and make 
arrangements with the other federal agency. Direct receipt of funds from 
another federal agency will not change the supervised status of an 
emancipated minor's trust account.
