What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

The U.S. Treasury launched Trump Accounts, a new tax-advantaged savings program for children under 18 who have a valid Social Security number. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the program offers a one-time $1,000 federal deposit to children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028. The accounts, which must be invested in low-cost broad-market index funds, convert to a standard traditional IRA when the child turns 18.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The program encourages long-term investing by providing government-backed starter accounts for millions of Americans. The accounts are managed by the U.S. Treasury and rely on Social Security identifiers for eligibility. Projections show that a $1,000 seed deposit could grow to approximately $243,000 by age 55, assuming a 10 percent annual return.
