Children in Arkansas' foster care system will be enrolled in the Trump Account investment program set to launch in July, Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Monday.
Under the federal program, children under 18 can be enrolled in "tax-advantaged savings accounts" that have a $5,000 annual contribution cap, according to the Trump Account website. Children who are U.S. citizens born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028, are eligible to receive an additional, one-time $1,000 contribution from the federal government.
