Treasury Department Announces Auto-Enrollment for Trump Accounts, Projecting 60 Million New Child Accounts

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has announced that Trump Accounts will begin auto-enrolling millions of children as early as October 1, following the publication of temporary regulations. This change is projected to increase the number of children enrolled in Trump Accounts by over 60 million in 2026, with an additional two million accounts annually in subsequent years. Currently, between 7 to 8 million American children are signed up for these accounts. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that within a month, the total could reach 70 million due to auto-enrollment. The tax-deferred investing accounts, launched on July 4, include a one-time $1,000 deposit from the Treasury Department for children born between 2025 and 2028, with additional funds potentially available for qualifying families. The previous 'opt-in' requirement, involving IRS Form 4547 or TrumpAccounts.gov, resulted in low participation rates, especially among low-income families.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury, through its Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund), is inviting public comments on the 'Uses of Awards Report Form.'
