@MariaHCD Are we planing to remove user data in Onyx now and return all necessary data into account data? Look like this bug has the same RCA with #58682. We're using account?.validated data and it doesn't exist in HybridApp. All places in the app are using user?.validated, we can create a hook useIsValidatedUser for all, and then after the migration from user to account is complete, we only need to change this hook.

App/src/pages/ReimbursementAccount/VerifiedBankAccountFlowEntryPoint.tsx

Lines 148 to 150 in 5f590ac

	if (!account?.validated) {
	optionPressed.current = CONST.BANK_ACCOUNT.SETUP_TYPE.PLAID;
	toggleValidateCodeActionModal?.(true);

@dukenv0307 Yes, we are planning to merge the User onyx data into the Account model as part of this issue: #59277

Regarding your proposal for a hook - would that mean that we'd look in the User data first for validated and if it's not there, we'd look in the Account data?

@MariaHCD Yes.

@dukenv0307 nice - yeah, that makes sense to me as a temporary solution for this 👍🏼

@inimaga as a heads up - we'd need to update/remove the hook once the migration is complete

@MariaHCD Got it, please assign me here then I can start with the PR
