Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Use 529 funds for career credentials

If enacted, you could use a 529 plan for recognized career credentials. Covered costs would include required tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment, plus other enrollment costs already allowed at colleges. Testing fees and required continuing education to get or keep a credential would also qualify. The program or credential must be recognized, such as on a state workforce list; in a VA or Defense directory; tied to a widely recognized industry exam; a registered apprenticeship; a state or federal license; or another credential identified by the government. These rules would apply to 529 withdrawals made after enactment.
