Quick Summary

Social Security is now providing new parents with information on how to open Trump Accounts for their newborns born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028. These accounts come with an initial $1,000 contribution from the U.S. Treasury Department and allow additional annual contributions of up to $5,000. The program aims to give children a financial head start by investing in low-cost ETFs tracking major stock market indexes, which parents can manage until their child turns 18 when the account converts into a retirement fund.

Launched in 2026, this initiative involves adding information about the accounts to Social Security cards issued to newborns born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028.
