Minor Claimant Guardian UI in Figma

Quick answer

Minor claimant UI lets guardians receive settlement payments on behalf of class members under the age of majority—without treating the victim portal like a custodial bank or skipping court oversight. Design an age verification gate on CLM-* filing, a guardian designation wizard with court order and ID uploads, and an administrator review console that routes approved guardians to blocked or registry PAY-* accounts. Connect to settlement claims, deceased claimant flows, payment disbursement, and file upload. Start from the Figma guides hub and pair with forms, progress steppers, and children’s privacy controls.

Who this is for

Product designers building guardian and minor-specific settlement flows—not generic family account sharing from consumer apps.
Settlement administrators verifying court orders and blocked disbursement instructions at scale.
Class counsel defining which guardian documents satisfy settlement order requirements per jurisdiction.

Minor claimant lifecycle overview

MinorClaimantLifecycle — CLM-992-55201 · Claimant: Alex Rivera (DOB 2011) · Status: Guardian review pending
├── Triggers:
│   ├── DOB on claim form indicates under age of majority (18 or 21 per order)
│   ├── Admin match from submitted SSN/DOB vs eligibility file
│   ├── Guardian initiates MIN-* from [notice FAQ](/designing-breach-faq-and-notice-landing-page-ui-in-figma/)
│   └── [Call center](/designing-breach-call-center-and-agent-script-ui-in-figma/) flags minor during lookup
├── ID namespace:
│   ├── MIN-* (minor case) · GUA-* (guardian/conservator) · AGE-* (age verification record)
│   └── PAY-* routes to GUA-* blocked account or court registry—not minor's personal wallet
├── Status progression:
│   ├── Claim filed → Age verified → Guardian designated → Court doc review → Approved guardian → PAY-* to blocked/registry
│   └── Denied guardian → [Disputes](/designing-breach-settlement-claims-dispute-and-appeals-ui-in-figma/) · CLM-* frozen
└── Minor turns 18 during process → Transition to direct payee per order (may require emancipation docs)

Stage	Administrator sees	Guardian sees
Age verified	AGE-* flag on CLM-*	“Guardian required” notice
Guardian submitted	GUA-* review queue	Document upload status
Court review	Order validity checklist	”Under review” with SLA
Approved	Successor linked to CLM-*	Blocked account setup wizard
Paid	PAY-* to registry/blocked	Receipt and tax docs for guardian

Verdict: Never deliver PAY- directly to a minor’s personal bank account* unless court order explicitly allows and jurisdiction permits—default to blocked disbursement or court registry.

Age verification gate on claim filing

AgeVerification — CLM-992-55201 · DOB: 2011-03-14 · Age at filing: 15 · Status: Minor flagged
├── Collection point:
│   ├── Standard claim form DOB field · Required for all CLM-*
│   ├── Cross-check against eligibility file DOB if provided
│   └── Mismatch → Manual AGE-* review queue (do not auto-reject)
├── Gate behavior:
│   ├── Under majority: CLM-* status → Minor pending guardian
│   ├── Payment fields hidden · Guardian path CTA shown
│   └── Email to guardian contact if provided on form
├── Edge cases:
│   ├── Emancipated minor → Upload emancipation order · Bypass GUA-* if approved
│   ├── Turned 18 between filing and payout → Re-verify DOB · Release direct PAY-* if allowed
│   └── Guardian is also class member → Separate GUA-* and CLM-* records
└── Privacy: Minimize minor PII in admin list views · Mask DOB in call center scripts

Pair age gates with children’s privacy patterns—settlement portals still collect guardian consent even when the underlying breach did not target children.

Guardian designation wizard

GuardianDesignation — MIN-992-0088 · GUA-992-0088-A · Role: Parent/guardian · Status: Docs requested
├── Entry paths:
│   ├── "I am a guardian" from notice FAQ · Search by minor name + claim ID
│   ├── Magic link from guardian email on CLM-* form
│   └── Call center sends link after identity verification
├── Step 1 — Identify minor claimant:
│   ├── Fields: minor_full_name · date_of_birth · CLM-* if known
│   ├── Match confidence: Exact · Fuzzy · Manual review
│   └── Do not expose other minors in search results
├── Step 2 — Guardian identity:
│   ├── Guardian name · Relationship · Government ID upload
│   ├── Email · Phone · Mailing address
│   └── Creates provisional GUA-* (unapproved)
├── Step 3 — Legal authority (dynamic by jurisdiction):
│   ├── Natural parent (birth certificate + ID match)
│   ├── Court-appointed guardian (letters of guardianship)
│   ├── Conservator (conservatorship order)
│   ├── Custodial parent (custody order if parents separated)
│   └── Foster/adoptive parent (placement or adoption decree)
├── Step 4 — Disbursement instruction:
│   ├── Blocked disbursement account (settlement partner bank)
│   ├── Court registry deposit
│   ├── UTMA/UGMA custodial account (if order allows)
│   └── Each option shows counsel-approved description—not generic savings account
└── Confirmation: MIN-* number · Expected review SLA · No payment promise

Use a progress stepper with jurisdiction-specific document checklists—not one global guardian form.

Administrator guardian review console

GuardianReview — MIN-992-0088 · CLM-992-55201 · 1 GUA-* pending · Competing: 0
├── Review panel layout:
│   ├── Left: CLM-* summary · Claim amount · AGE-* verification status
│   ├── Center: Document viewer · Guardianship order · ID scans · Birth certificate
│   ├── Right: GUA-* details · Approval actions · Internal notes
├── Verification checklist:
│   ├── AGE-* DOB matches CLM-* and eligibility file
│   ├── Guardian ID matches court order name (if court-appointed)
│   ├── Order jurisdiction valid · Not expired · Covers settlement amount
│   ├── No active [legal hold](/designing-compliance-exports-and-legal-hold-ui-in-figma/) on CLM-*
│   └── Disbursement method matches court order type
├── Actions:
│   ├── Approve GUA-* → Unlock PAY-* routing to blocked/registry
│   ├── Request additional docs → Status Docs requested · Email template
│   ├── Deny GUA-* → Reason code · Appeal path to DIS-*
│   └── Flag competing GUA-* claims for same CLM-*
└── Audit: min_id · gua_id · reviewer_id · doc_version · approval_at · pay_id_generated

Competing guardian claims (e.g., divorced parents) must enter a conflict queue—do not auto-approve the first submission.

Blocked disbursement and registry payout

Approved GUA-* connects to payment disbursement with minor-specific routing:

MinorPayout — PAY-992-MIN-0088 · GUA-992-0088-A · CLM-992-55201 · $47.82
├── Payee record:
│   ├── payee_type: minor_guardian · Links GUA-* not minor user_id
│   ├── Payment label: "Blocked account for Alex Rivera (minor)" on descriptor
│   └── Disbursement method: blocked_account | court_registry | utma
├── Blocked account setup:
│   ├── Partner bank onboarding wizard for GUA-*
│   ├── Minor name on account title · Guardian as authorized signer only
│   └── Release conditions: age of majority or court order upload
├── Court registry:
│   ├── Registry reference number · County court deposit confirmation
│   └── Guardian receives receipt · Minor claims at 18 with ID
├── Tax:
│   ├── 1099 to minor SSN or guardian per counsel · [Tax UI](/designing-breach-settlement-tax-reporting-and-1099-ui-in-figma/)
│   └── TIN collection on GUA-* wizard if guardian is payee of record
└── Portal: GUA-* sees payment status · Minor has no direct login unless order allows

Minor portal and guardian account states

When CLM-* is flagged as minor:

MinorClaimantNotice — CLM-992-55201 · Status: Guardian processing
├── If no GUA-* yet: "A parent or legal guardian must complete authorization"
├── If GUA-* pending: "Guardian documents under review" · Reference MIN-*
├── Actions disabled for minor credentials: Update payment · Direct bank entry
├── Guardian login (separate GUA-* auth): Upload docs · View status · Set up blocked account
└── Support CTA: [Call center](/designing-breach-call-center-and-agent-script-ui-in-figma/) · Reference CLM-* and MIN-*

Do not allow shared CLM- credentials* between guardian and minor—separate GUA-* authentication with verified email.
