Senator Moreno Plans Bill to Expand Trump Accounts Eligibility to Adults
What happened
Senator Bernie Moreno plans to introduce legislation in the Senate to expand eligibility for 'Trump Accounts' from children under 18 to Americans under the age of 40. These accounts are tax-advantaged investment tools, which currently allow U.S. citizen children born between 2025 and 2028 to receive a one-time $1,000 federal contribution. Individuals and employers can generally contribute up to a combined $5,000 annually to these accounts.

Why it matters
The proposed expansion would allow the accounts to be used for retirement, education, or starting a business, offering new tools for long-term savings. This legislation would expand the scope of federal financial programs and is supported by advocates who seek to make the funding permanent.
Ohio lawmakers introduced a bill in the Senate, and the legislation has not yet reached the House of Representatives.
