What it does

The order directs the Treasury Secretary to establish TrumpIRA.gov by January 1, 2027, listing private IRAs under 26 U.S.C. 408 that meet criteria including net expense ratios at or below 0.15 percent, specified investment options such as target-date or balanced funds, and no minimum contribution or balance requirements. The site targets independent contractors, self-employed workers, and others without employer plans, provides filters and information on the Federal Saver's Match of up to $1,000 under 26 U.S.C. 6433, and facilitates participation. Treasury must implement the match for qualifying contributions, issue guidance on charitable contributions and prohibited transactions with Labor, and prepare legislative recommendations for portability and low-cost options.

Policy. Tens of millions of Americans lack access to employer-sponsored retirement plans. Workers in small businesses, part-time workers, independent contractors, and self-employed workers face unnecessary barriers to saving for retirement. My Administration intends to give these often-left-out American workers access to the same type of retirement-savings opportunities offered to every Federal worker and to establish an easy and transparent way for eligible workers to obtain up to a $1,000 match for their savings. Hard-working Americans deserve retirement security in portable savings vehicles that offer access to low-cost investments similar to those offered to Federal workers in the Thrift Savings Plan. It is the policy of the United States to promote high- quality, low-cost individual retirement accounts (IRAs) offered by private-sector financial institutions that meet objective standards of cost, transparency, and fiduciary responsibility. It is further the policy of the United States to increase public awareness of the Federal Saver's Match enacted in the bipartisan SECURE 2.0 Act (Public Law 117-328, Division T) and to facilitate participation in eligible retirement-savings vehicles that provide diversified, index-based investment options. Through a federally administered retirement-savings informational platform that highlights qualifying high- quality, low-cost, private-sector IRAs, the United States will promote retirement-savings participation, provide access to retirement-savings options similar to those enjoyed by Federal employees, and encourage workers to reap the rewards of the vibrant American private-sector along with the power of compound earnings. Sec. 2. Establishment of <a href="http://TrumpIRA.gov">TrumpIRA.gov</a>. (a) The Secretary of the Treasury shall, by January 1, 2027, establish a website (<a href="http://TrumpIRA.gov">TrumpIRA.gov</a>) that provides individuals, with a particular focus on independent contractors, self-employed individuals, and other workers who do not have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan, with information about high-quality, low-cost IRAs.

(b) <a href="http://TrumpIRA.gov">TrumpIRA.gov</a> shall list financial institutions that offer IRAs under 26 U.S.C. 408, accept the Federal Saver's Match contribution under 26 U.S.C. 6433(e)(2)(C), and meet other criteria, as directed by the Secretary of the Treasury, consistent with applicable law. In addition, <a href="http://TrumpIRA.gov">TrumpIRA.gov</a> shall explain the cost and quality criteria described in subsection (c) of this section, allow individuals to filter and select IRAs based on their cost and quality, and provide information regarding the opportunity to receive the Federal Saver's Match contribution under 26 U.S.C. 6433, consistent with applicable law.
