Promoting Retirement-Savings Access for American Workers by Establishing TrumpIRA.gov
President Donald J. Trump ordered the Treasury Department to create TrumpIRA.gov by January 1, 2027, a federal website that helps workers without employer retirement plans find private-sector IRAs that meet strict standards for low fees, transparency, and worker protections. The site is meant especially for independent contractors, self-employed people, part-time workers, and others who are often left out of workplace retirement plans, and it must also explain eligibility for the existing Federal Saver’s Match of up to $1,000. The order directs Treasury to make sure qualifying IRA contributors can receive that federal match, encourage financial institutions to accept it, and list only IRA providers that offer low-cost, diversified investment options with no minimum contribution or balance requirements. It also tells Treasury, the IRS, and the Labor Department to issue guidance and safeguards on tax treatment, transparency, and prohibited transactions, and to develop legislative recommendations to lock in the policy.
