You planned ahead for college. Now it’s time to plan for using what you saved.
September is National College Savings Month, a reminder that education planning involves more than setting money aside.
For families with a 529 plan, it also means thinking ahead about when those funds will be needed for tuition and other qualified education expenses.
If you’re requesting a 529 distribution through FORM, we encourage you to reach out early. Requests can take up to two weeks to process, and a little extra time can help make the start of the semester much smoother.
The same thinking applies beyond college.
Tuition, a new vehicle, a major trip, or helping a family member may be significant expenses, but they don’t have to be financial surprises.
When we know what’s coming, we have more time to plan for how your wealth can support it.
