Study Notes

Entitlement Order Explained

  • Entitlement order is a key for accessing benefits; it's a directive instructing transfer or redemption of a financial asset (a special deposit).

  • Birth certificate is the origin of entitlement; it's recorded as the creation of a legal event, not the baby itself.

  • The birth certificate is a security, with the person named on it becoming the beneficiary.

  • The state creates a business to match with the birth; the beneficiary is initially the entity holding the record.

  • Individuals become trustees of this, then need to reclaim beneficiary status using an entitlement order.

  • Entitlement order is a banking term, like "pay to the order of"; it contains instructions for converting the birth certificate's ownership.

Codes and Their Significance

  • UCC Part 500 Series: Crucial for understanding entitlement orders; quick links for Cornell Law resources are helpful.

  • 8-106 Control: The purchaser (the person) controls the security (birth certificate) in bearer or registered form; important for understanding who holds the birth certificate at various stages.

  • Issuer (8-21): The entity creating the security (certificate of live birth). A state is the issuer to register the event of birth with its name on the certificate; it's responsible to fulfill obligations related to certificate. The US Department of Treasury guarantees the states.

  • Security Entitlement (8-102): The rights and ownership interest a person has over a security held in account by another entity (e.g., the Secretary of the Treasury).

  • 8-506: Intermediary (Treasury) duty to exercise rights; waiting for the order from the holder to exercise their rights.

  • 8-507: Intermediary (Treasury) compliance with the order; a duty to comply with the order.

Sending the Entitlement Order

  • Instructions: The entitlement order is the instructions written on the birth certificate; it may include additional paperwork (launch, etc.).

  • Special deposit: The financial asset is referred to as a special deposit, crucial for clarity.

  • Endorsement: Signing the birth certificate, indicating transfer.

  • Deposit to Secretary of Treasury (US): The order for the document, with the exact specifications noted on paperwork.

  • Cover letter: The suggested template to accompany an entitlement order; important for clarification for the office receiving the paperwork.

  • Date: Must include the person's 18th birthday to make it effective from that date.
