Trump Accounts are designed to help children build wealth over time through tax-advantaged investment accounts seeded with an initial government contribution. Until now, participation generally required a parent or legal guardian to open an account on a child\u2019s behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new initiative, called Fostering the Future Accounts, allows states and tribal governments serving as legal guardians to open Trump Accounts for eligible children in foster care.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time, children in foster care will have access to a dedicated investment and savings vehicle,\u201d Melania Trump said during Thursday\u2019s announcement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The program could make roughly 400,000 foster children eligible to participate, based on federal estimates of the number of children currently in foster care nationwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bessent said the change ensures children will receive the same $1,000 Treasury-funded contribution available through standard Trump Accounts for children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028.<\/span><\/p>\n

States will also be permitted to deposit a child\u2019s Social Security survivor benefits into the account.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like other Trump Accounts, the funds will be professionally managed and invested in diversified index funds. When participants reach adulthood, they may use the money for approved expenses, including college tuition, purchasing a home, or starting a business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs. Trump said 23 governors have already agreed to implement the program and urged the remaining states to participate.<\/p>\n
