00:00American Airlines is putting corporate money behind the Trump administration's new child
00:04savings program, offering a one-time $1,000 contribution for eligible children of its
00:10employees. That effectively doubles the federal government's $1,000 seed contribution for
00:15qualifying accounts. The airline says thousands of employees' children could benefit, while about
00:201.4 million children overall have already been signed up for the program. American also plans
00:26to give some employees the ability to make pre-tax contributions to their children's
00:31accounts beginning in 2027, adding another layer to the emerging corporate benefits trend.
