Common Questions

Does my child have a Trump Account?

If your child is eligible, their Trump Account account will be created automatically by the U.S. Treasury. You no longer need to create the account yourself.

Your next step is to activate that account by accessing it, which you can currently do via TrumpAccounts.gov or with the Trump Accounts app on the Apple App Store or Google Play.

What do I need to do if my child has a Trump Account?

Access and activate your child’s account by downloading the official Trump Accounts app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, or visit the official Trump Accounts Website.

Did my child receive the $250 Dell contribution to their Trump Account?

The U.S. Treasury is still identifying all the children who will receive the contribution under auto-enrollment. Beginning October 13, you’ll be able to check whether your child received the contribution.

Do I need to apply for the $250 Dell contribution to their Trump Account?

No. There is no separate application. You do not need to take any action right now.

When can I check if my child received the $250 Dell contribution to their Trump Account?

Beginning October 13, you’ll be able to check whether your child received the contribution.

Where can I get help with my child’s Trump Account or Dell contribution?

What’s the difference between having a Trump Account, activating a Trump Account, and receiving the $250 Dell contribution?

Having a Trump Account means the U.S. Treasury created an account for an eligible child.

Activating a Trump Account means a parent or guardian accesses the account with either their SSN or ITIN through Trump Accounts app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store or the official Trump Accounts Website so they can monitor it.

Receiving the Dell $250 means a child was awarded Michael and Susan Dell’s contribution. This was allocated by Treasury, but funded by the Dells. It is different from any other funding provided by Treasury, including the $1000 gift from birth.
