Treasury Auto-Enrolls 60 Million Kids in Trump Accounts, but Parents Must Act to Claim Funds

The U.S. Treasury 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.

"US Treasury Releases Guidelines for Clean Energy Tax Credit Programs"

The US Treasury Department has released detailed guidance on wage and apprenticeship requirements for projects utilizing clean energy tax credits. The proposed rules build on previous guidance and provide flexibility for fixing underpayment errors and for projects unable to hire apprentices. Companies that pay the prevailing wage and use qualified apprentices can earn five times the baseline value of tax credits. The guidance also includes provisions to waive penalties for wage errors if corrected within 30 days and a "good faith" exception for using registered apprenticeship programs if none are available. The Treasury and IRS are accepting public comments on the proposed rules until October 30.
