This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Trump Administration formally creates (e.g., by signing federal legislation or performing executive action) a tariff dividend/rebate by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Any bill signed into law or executive action taken within this market's time frame will qualify, regardless of when the law or action goes into effect. A qualifying payment of any amount distributed to any segment of individual US taxpayers will qualify as long as it is clearly attributed primarily to tariff revenue rather than a routine tax refund or credit. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.**Trader consensus reflects multiple structural and procedural barriers.** The proposal, first floated by President Trump in late 2025, would require new congressional legislation to authorize direct payments from general Treasury funds, as tariffs alone do not automatically create a distributable dividend. Projected 2026 tariff revenue falls well short of the estimated $300–600 billion cost for broad payments, a gap widened by the Supreme Court’s February 2026 ruling invalidating key IEEPA-based tariffs and triggering refunds primarily to importers. Related surcharges have expired, competing rebate bills remain stalled in committee without floor action, and no administration measure has advanced to enactment. With only four months left before the resolution deadline, these fiscal, legal, and legislative constraints underpin the strong “No” pricing.
