529 Day Release May 26, 2021
College Savings Plans Network Celebrates 529 Day Programs All Over the Country Incentivize Saving for Higher Education in Honor of 529 Day (Washington, DC, May 26, 2021) -To commemorate national 529 Day, college savings programs across the country are using unique ways to raise awareness about the importance of saving for college. Even amid the financial strain of COVID-19, 529 plans nationally have grown in the last year. Leading these initiatives are members of the College Savings Plans Network (CSPN), a network of the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST), the leading objective source of information about Section 529 college savings plans and prepaid tuition plans. The President of the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST) Indiana Treasurer Kelly Mitchell, had this to say about the continued growth, "It is clear that Americans are prioritizing savings for higher education even when budgets are tight. I applaud the work of state 529 plans to continue providing this crucial resource to families over the past year." Over the last 25 years, CSPN has tracked data which shows that American families are taking advantage of these tax-advantaged savings accounts. As of December 31, 2020, national savings in 529 savings plans surpassed $425 billion, a year-over-year increase of more than 14 percent. The encouraging upward trend is a promising step towards combatting student debt, which currently amounts to almost $1.6 trillion in the United States. “May 29th is an annual reminder of the importance of saving for a child’s future education. 529 college savings accounts allow parents to make smaller, tax-advantaged investments,” said CSPN chairman and Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs.

State of West Virginia RILEY MOORE OFFICE OF THE STATE TREASURER STATE CAPITOL, ROOM E-145 STATE TREASURER PHONE: 304 -558-5000 or 1-800-422-7498 1900 KANAWHA BOULEVARD, EAST www.wvtreasury.com CHARLESTON, WV 25305 May 25, 2021 The Honorable John F. Kerry Special Presidential Envoy for Climate United States Department of State 2201 C Street, Northwest Washington, DC 20520 Dear Mr. Kerry: We are writing today to express our deep concern with recent reports that you, and other members of the Biden Administration, are privately pressuring U.S. banks and financial institutions to refuse to lend to or invest in coal, oil, and natural gas companies, as part of a misguided strategy to eliminate the fossil fuel industry in our country.1 As members of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee have noted,2 these efforts to secure extralegal commitments from financial institutions will discriminate against law-abiding U.S. energy companies and their employees, impede economic growth, and drive up consumer costs. As a collective, we strongly oppose command-and-control economic policies that attempt to bend the free market to the political will of government officials. It is simply antithetical to our nation’s position as a democracy and a capitalist economy for the Executive Branch to bully corporations into curtailing legal activities. The Biden Administration’s top-down tactics of picking economic winners and losers deprives the real determinate group in our society – the people – of essential choice and agency. We refuse to allow the federal government to pick our critical industries as losers, based purely on President Biden’s own radical political preferences and ideologies.
