529 Plan Data, Disclosures on MSRB.org

September 6, 2012

[ by Melanie Gretchen ]

The MSRB is launching a new interactive map that allows you to search for information on 529 college savings plans by state.  Beginning 9/7, investment firms that distribute the plans can use the board's Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) website to submit 529 plan disclosure documents.

"The MSRB encourages families to visit the EMMA website if they currently participate or are interested in participating in a 529 college savings plan to help finance their children’s higher education. The plan disclosure documents and other relevant documents available on EMMA help families understand the risks and benefits of particular 529 college savings plans." -- Lynnette Kelly, MSRB Executive Director.

In addition to the map, the MSRB is seeking feedback on a proposal to collect additional information about 529 college savings plans from dealers that act as 529 college savings plan distributors. The board would analyze the information to gain a better understanding of the size, growth, characteristics and risks of the 529 plan market and of specific plans.
