Treasury Auto-Enrolls 60 Million Children in Trump Accounts, but Claiming Funds Requires Action

The U.S. Treasury Department has automatically created over 60 million Trump Accounts for eligible children under 18, shifting from a voluntary opt-in system to mandatory enrollment to boost participation. While the accounts are now active, parents must still manually claim them to receive the $1,000 federal seed contribution for children born between 2025 and 2028. This move aims to address low uptake among low-income families, though experts warn that take-up rates may remain low without active engagement.
