How to get it
Claim your child's Trump Account, then follow Delta's internal benefits guidance. Delta's public release does not describe the enrollment steps. The child must be eligible for the Treasury seed, which requires claiming the account. Source: U.S. Treasury, Oct 1, 2026 (automatic enrollment) (verified Oct 16, 2026).
How the federal rules apply
Employer money goes into the child's Trump Account, so the account has to exist and be claimed. Treasury says every eligible child under 18 with a valid SSN now has an automatically enrolled account, and a parent or guardian must claim it in the official Trump Accounts app to manage it and let employers contribute. Source: U.S. Treasury, Oct 1, 2026 (automatic enrollment) (verified Oct 16, 2026).
Employer (section 128) contributions are limited to $2,500 a year (per employee, not per child), and they count toward the $5,000 annual limit. The $1,000 Treasury seed does not. Source: IRS Instructions for Form 4547 (verified Oct 16, 2026).
