Melania Trump Announces Investment Accounts for Foster Children

Former first lady Melania Trump introduced a program aimed at foster children. The initiative creates dedicated investment accounts for each child. States will receive benefits on behalf of foster children in their care. Under the program, those benefits can be placed into the new accounts. The accounts are intended to grow assets for the children’s future needs. Participation is voluntary for each state that cares for foster youth. The effort reflects Melania Trump’s focus on child welfare initiatives. Officials will monitor how the accounts are funded and managed.
