Lets people use 529 savings accounts for job training and certification costs.
This bill would let people use their 529 college savings accounts to pay for job training, certifications, and professional licenses. Today, these accounts mostly cover traditional college costs. This change would help individuals pay for a wider range of skills needed for today's job market.
Today, 529 college savings accounts primarily cover expenses for traditional college degrees. This bill would change that by allowing these tax-advantaged accounts to also pay for a wide range of job training programs, professional certifications, licenses, and related testing and continuing education fees.
