Summary
A proposal in the 2025 tax-reconciliation bill would provide federal Child Development Account–like accounts for all children born between 2024 and 2028, with a provision enabling children born in 2028 or after to open accounts. This Policy Brief is designed to inform public debate about the legislation through a discussion of the evidence underpinning the most fundamental of many lessons learned from SEED for Oklahoma Kids, the Center for Social Development’s long-running, randomized experiment with Child Development Account policy: the need for a centralized savings-plan platform.
