The Dell $250 Trump Account deposit: who got it
This is a private donation, not the federal $1,000. It was allocated by Treasury but funded by the Dells (>Invest America).
Who got it (>Invest America: Dell $250 eligibility)
- Children born Jan 1, 2016 to Dec 31, 2024
- Living in ZIP codes with a median family income of $117,300 or less (Census 2020-2024 ACS 5-year), starting from the lowest-income ZIPs until 25 million children were reached
- All eligible children living on military bases
- Funds reserved for children in foster care, expected next year
There was no application. All deposits were made as of Friday, Oct 9, 2026 (>Invest America: Dell $250 eligibility).
How to check
Use the ZIP checker on the >Invest America eligibility page, then claim the account in the official app to see the balance.
Unconfirmed: This comes from Invest America, the organization behind the donation, not from irs.gov or treasury.gov. We could not find the Dell allocation on an IRS page.
