What happened
A recent study by the Commonwealth surveyed over 1,000 eligible parents regarding the Trump Account program, which was launched in July. The study found that only 5% of low- to moderate-income families eligible for a 530A Trump Account have opened one. While 55% of eligible parents were aware of the program, 36% stated they were undecided about signing up, and many lacked clear information on how the accounts function.

Why it matters
The Trump Account program was designed to help families build wealth by enabling early investment. The low uptake suggests that the program may not be reaching the intended beneficiaries, despite the administration stating the accounts will help children achieve prosperity.
