ACF and Treasury Release Updated Guidance to Help States Implement Fostering the Future Accounts
In August 2026, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Department of the Treasury jointly released a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document to help states, territories, and Tribes establish and administer Fostering the Future Accounts.
New FAQ highlights include:
- Establishing and administering Fostering the Future Accounts;
- Available funding sources, including federal funds and private contributions; and
- Fostering the Future Accounts eligibility, management, transfer, and withdrawal considerations.
To further support implementation, ACF launched the National Fostering the Future Accounts Advancement Center to provide technical assistance tailored to the needs of states, territories, and Tribes.
