Newborn children in the U.S. will soon have access to $1,000 in federal funding through new investment accounts, announced by President Donald Trump as “Trump accounts,” though some experts have criticized the program for failing to help financially vulnerable kids.

The “Trump Account” program, a component of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed earlier this year, will provide a one-time federal contribution of $1,000 into a new investment account for all children born in the U.S. between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028.

The accounts will become available in 2026, though the first contribution to the account cannot be made until after July 4, 2026, according to Charles Schwab.
