Auto-Enrollment

Is my child eligible for a Trump Account?

Trump Account eligibility is determined by the U.S. Treasury. For current eligibility requirements and account information, visit TrumpAccounts.gov or TrumpAccount.com.

What does Trump Account auto-enrollment mean?

The U.S. Treasury has created Trump Accounts automatically for eligible children. Families no longer need to create accounts individually.

What if I already created a Trump Account or submitted Form 4547?

If you created a Trump Account or submitted Form 4547 before October 1, your child remains eligible under the rules that applied at that time. Auto-enrollment does not change that. For questions about a previously submitted Form 4547 or a specific account, visit TrumpAccounts.gov or TrumpAccount.com.

Do I still need to submit Form 4547 to create a Trump Account?

No. Families no longer need to submit Form 4547 to create an account for an eligible child. If you submitted Form 4547 before October 1, your child remains eligible under the rules that applied at that time.

What happens if I don’t activate my child’s Trump Account?

If your child is eligible, Treasury has created their Trump Account automatically. That’s an important benefit of auto-enrollment: an eligible child doesn’t miss out simply because their family didn’t know about the program or hadn’t opened an account.

We still encourage families to access and activate their child’s account. That allows you to see what is in the account, monitor the investment, and add to it over time.

How do I know if Treasury created a Trump Account for my child?

If your child is eligible for a Trump Account, U.S. Treasury has created the account automatically. The best way to determine whether an account was created for your child is to use the Trump Accounts app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store or visit the official Trump Accounts Website. If you need help locating your child’s account, use the support resources available through TrumpAccounts.gov.

Why is the U.S. Treasury automatically creating Trump Accounts?

The goal of auto-enrollment is to make sure eligible children can benefit from a long-term investment account, whether or not their parents were aware of the program or had taken action to create an account. Families still need to access and activate the account, but U.S. Treasury now creates the account automatically, so account funds can begin compounding interest sooner.
