The short title is the Trump Accounts for All Generations Act, and the full title says it would amend the Internal Revenue Code to make permanent the Trump accounts contribution pilot program.
Smith's office said on April 15, 2026 that he introduced the Trump Accounts for All Generations Act, which would make the $1,000 Trump Account contribution permanent and index the investment to inflation beginning in 2029.

Assessments
The promised policy has not been enacted. Smith introduced H.R. 8313 in April 2026 to make the Trump Accounts $1,000 contribution permanent and add inflation indexing after 2028, which closely matches the promise and qualifies as a serious legislative attempt. However, the bill remained introduced and referred to committee, while current law and implementation materials still describe the contribution as a one-time pilot limited to children born from 2025 through 2028, with no permanent or inflation-indexed contribution beginning in 2029.
Smith did materially advance the idea by introducing H.R. 8313 with text that would make the $1,000 Trump Account contribution permanent and add inflation indexing after 2028, but the bill was only introduced and referred to committee. The enacted law and current IRS/Treasury implementation still describe Trump Accounts as a one-time $1,000 pilot contribution for a limited 2025-2028 eligibility window, so the promised outcome was not delivered.
Smith introduced H.R. 8313 in the 119th Congress, and the bill text matched the promise by making the $1,000 Trump Account contribution permanent and adding inflation indexing after 2028. However, the evidence shows the bill remained introduced and referred to committee, while the enacted and implemented program still operates as a one-time $1,000 pilot for eligible children born from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2028. Because the promised permanent, indexed contribution has not been enacted, this is not delivered, but Smith receives an effort badge for a serious legislative attempt.
Smith introduced H.R. 8313 in the 119th Congress to make the $1,000 Trump Account contribution permanent and add inflation indexing beginning after 2028. The bill text matches the promised policy, and Smith gets candidate credit for sponsoring it. However, the evidence shows only introduction and referral to Ways and Means, not enactment or implementation, so the promised outcome has not yet been fulfilled.
