529 College Savings Plan

Eligibility

Employees are eligible to particpate on the first of the month following 30 days of service.

Our plan is managed by American Funds

With college costs rising faster than inflation, many students need assistance paying for their higher education. To help you save for this important goal, your employer, working alongside a financial advisor, is offering you a CollegeAmerica 529 plan as part of your benefits package.

With CollegeAmerica, you get some great benefits:

• Tax-advantaged investing — Earnings in a 529 account grow free from federal tax. This can help you accumulate more over the long term.
• Flexibility — You can use the assets in your account to fund expenses at any U.S. public or private college — undergraduate, graduate, professional or vocational. Qualified expenses include tuition, fees, room and board, and many more.
• Investing for any beneficiary — You can save for anyone — your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends, etc. You can even save for yourself. In addition, there are no age or income limits.
• Convenience of automatic investing — You easily invest on a regular basis through deductions from your personal bank account or payroll deductions (if available).  For details, talk to your employer.
• Low plan costs — You never pay a sales commission, and you benefit from low operating expenses. That way more of your money goes toward pursuing your goal.
• Control over your account — Unlike other college funding vehicles, you always control the assets in a 529, even when your beneficiary reaches the age of enrollment.

Please visit the Edward Jones website to locate a financial advisor. There are several in the Northeast Kingdom who can assist you with the 529 Plan enrollment process!  https://www.edwardjones.com/us-en

    enrollment email from BenefitEd in the following month.
  • Student loans registered for this program must be in the name of the employee and for their education.
