The proposal would expand the savings options for the newly created accounts, <\/b>through which any child born during President Donald Trump\u2019s second term can receive $1,000 in federal seed money for investments.<\/p>\n

Any child under 18 can have an account, but they won\u2019t receive the seed money unless they were born after Jan. 1, 2025, and before Dec. 31, 2028.<\/p>\n

The program also allows employers to contribute up to $2,500 annually into their employees\u2019 children\u2019s accounts, which counts toward a $5,000 annual limit for contributions by employers, parents, guardians and others. More than 50 companies have committed to contributing to their employees\u2019 accounts, according to Treasury.<\/p>

If their employer does not contribute, an employee can make a $2,500 pretax contribution via payroll.<\/p>\n

The rule is expected to be finalized after a submission period for public comments ending Sept. 25 and a public hearing on Oct. 15.<\/p>\n
