Did the U.S. Treasury complete automatic enrollment for Trump Accounts on October 1, 2026?

Yes. On October 1, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that automatic enrollment for Trump Accounts was complete. According to Treasury, every eligible child under age 18 with a valid Social Security number now has a Trump Account, and automatic enrollment brought more than 60 million additional eligible children an account ready to be claimed.

A parent or guardian must still claim the child’s account via the official Trump Accounts app to manage it, allow contributions, and receive the one-time $1,000 seed contribution where the child is eligible. Source: U.S. Department of the Treasury press release sb0642.
