Trump Proposes $1,776 ’Warrior Dividend’ for Military Personnel
President TRUMP announced a one-time $1,776 tax-free payment—dubbed the 'Warrior Dividend'—for approximately 1.45 million eligible military service members. The amount symbolically references the year of U.S. independence (1776). Funding remains ambiguous, with Trump citing tariff revenue and the 'One Big Beautiful Bill.'
The MOVE could temporarily boost consumer spending, though details on disbursement mechanics are sparse. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth hinted at broader logistical support in a recent Department of War video.
