White House Floats Cash Bonus for Bigger Families

Leaning on a rising “pronatalist” movement, the Trump administration is eyeing incentives to raise U.S. birth rates — from a $5,000 post‑delivery bonus and motherhood medals to scholarship preferences for parents. A forthcoming Heritage Foundation report will outline options, but critics warn the focus ignores paid leave and affordable childcare.

What this means for you:
New parents could see direct cash or tuition perks if proposals become law, easing up‑front costs of having kids.
Eligibility may hinge on marriage or family size, potentially sidelining single, child‑free, and non‑traditional households.
Fertility policy is set to be a 2025 election issue; lawmakers’ stance could sway budgets and social benefits.
