Education

529 Account Qualified Expenses

Asked onWednesday, November 08, 2023 by Michelle

My husband is currently enrolled part-time in a program through UC Irvine. He has used 529 account funds to pay for the program tuition but we want to know if he can also use those funds to pay for off-campus room and board expenses (the cost of which is listed on UC Irvine's website as up to $5,400 per quarter). He is enrolled in the program at 50% time, so it seems like those expenses would qualify, but we've received conflicting advice.
