HR 2171 and S 905 - Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce: The Freedom to Invest in Tomorrows Workforce Act would expand eligible uses of tax-favorable 529 savings plans to cover costs associated with workforce training and credentialing programs. The legislation would also enable 529 plan beneficiaries to use their funds to pay for examinations necessary to obtain and maintain recognized private professional certifications and other credentials. Now, only costs related to attending colleges, universities, vocational schools, registered apprenticeship programs, K-12 private tuition, or other post-secondary institutions are eligible 529 expenses. The REBUILD Skills Act would create a federally funded Career Rebuilding Scholarship Fund, administered by approved certification organizations and worker training programs, to distribute scholarships to eligible individuals who incur covered expenses to take certification exams or enroll in a training program. Funds would cover up to the lesser of 95% or $3,000 of a program. This bill would also create a federal directory of approved, legitimate training and certification programs that could benefit all American workers and not just individuals eligible for scholarships. Eligible individuals include: -Any workers displaced from their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic; -Military members who rolled out/are rolling out of service during the pandemic; and -Spouses of military members who rolled out/are rolling out of service.
