529 COLLEGE SAVINGS PLAN CHANGES PROPOSED

Among recommendations from the White House Task Force on Middle-Class Working Families (Treasury Department) here are some proposals:

529 plans getting greater availability of age-based index funds that shed equities and add fixed-income assets as beneficiary approaches college
eliminating a “home-state bias” for fee and state tax assessments which currently force families to use funds offered in their home state rather than in others
put limits on balances on a per-beneficiary bases rather than on state-by-state basis
Treasury should collect data from surveys re 529 plan participation and investments
Strengthen compliance and monitoring of Section 529 accounts and disbursements
Simplify the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which currently has 153 questions, some having no impact on student aid – over 1MM eligible students fail to fill out this currently complex form
Tailoring the form to individual students
Allowing students to electronically retrieve their tax info from the IRS and enter it into the online FAFSA

MARILYN FARBER JACOBS is a Licensed Advisor / Independent Insurance Agent – who has College Savings Plans to tell you about, using a 529 Plan, term, universal life or whole life plans so that you, or someone you know, can make an educated choice.
