What every child in North Carolina still gets
Every child in North Carolina is covered by the same federal Trump Account rules, whether or not North Carolina adds a program of its own. A child who is a U.S. citizen with a Social Security number and born between 2025 and 2028 may be eligible for a one-time $1,000 federal seed contribution, and families and employers can add their own contributions up to the $5,000 annual cap. Those federal basics do not depend on which state you live in.
