Double the retirement savings limit for married couples
What the document says“the limit for married couples on 401(k) and similar workbased retirement savings accounts should be double the limit for individuals”
The chapter frames this as equalizing access to tax-free retirement saving for married couples regardless of how work is divided between them, so that a couple with one earner is not limited relative to a couple with two.
What the document actually says“the limit for married couples on 401(k) and similar workbased retirement savings accounts should be double the limit for individuals”
A married couple should be able to save twice what one person can.
Workers can save a set amount for retirement each year, tax free. If only one partner works, the couple saves less. The book says a couple should get double.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Executive Order 14403 of April 30, 2026 sets up TrumpIRA.gov, a listing of low-cost individual retirement accounts, and delivery of the federal Saver's Match of up to $1,000 for eligible savers who lack an employer plan. Contribution limits are set by statute, and nothing indexed raises them or ties any limit to marital status. Executive Order 14330 opens 401(k) plans to alternative assets and likewise leaves the limits alone. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
