WASHINGTON, Oct 29 (Reuters) - ‌Trump administration official Frank Bisignano, who serves as ​Internal Revenue ‌Service CEO and as Social ‌Security commissioner, said on Thursday he will donate $250 to each "Trump ‌account" in his home ZIP code in the Brooklyn borough of New York City for children aged ⁠2 to 8 years.

• In ‌a statement issued ⁠by the IRS, Bisignano, the former CEO ​of payments and financial technology firm Fiserv, said the ​payments would be available immediately ​for ‌eligible children in ZIP code 11234.

• ​The $250 donation adds to ⁠a $1,000 US Treasury contribution ‌to accounts ​of children born ​from 2025 through 2028. The tax-deferred investment accounts were created by last year's Republican-passed tax cuts.

• "This ‌donation is an investment in the children of Brooklyn, giving ‌them ​a boost in their personal wealth building journeys," Bisignano said in the statement.
