You and your family may take advantage of a 529 plan to save for college and dental school, but have you ever wondered why 529 plans can’t be used to pay for the continuing education, professional skills training, and credentialing many professionals are required to have. Urge your Congressional delegation to support the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act, a bill that would expand 529 expense eligibility to include those involved in the often-costly process of professional credentialing.
Please email your Representatives and Senators and ask them to support this bill. In doing so they can express their support for the dental workforce and patients who need access to care, as well as all students and workers who must pay for skills training and credentialing.
