Education and Workforce Freedom Act
The Education and Workforce Freedom Act would expand the use of 529 college savings accounts to cover more education and training costs. It allows these accounts to pay for K-12 tuition at public, private, or religious schools, homeschooling, and related expenses like curriculum materials, tutoring, and educational therapies. The bill also adds coverage for recognized job training programs and professional certifications, including test fees and course costs for credentials listed by states or the Department of Veterans Affairs. These changes would directly affect families using 529 accounts for K-12 education and individuals pursuing career-focused training through approved programs.
