New Federal Law Expands Use of 529 Plants to Include Qualified Expenses on Credentialing Programs
Congress recently passed the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act as part of a broader overhaul of the tax code, incorporating the bill into the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The bill was signed into law on July 4, 2025. As a result, Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code has been amended to add a new subsection on “qualified postsecondary credential expenses.” This new law expands the qualified uses of 529 Plans (also known as Qualified Tuition Programs) to include costs associated with postsecondary training and credentialing programs, such as occupational licenses and nongovernmental professional certifications. This important change transforms 529 Plans from college savings vehicles into more flexible career savings plans.
