Is your contact information current and secure?
As part of your spring cleaning to-do list, take a moment to make sure your contact information on your my529 account is up-to-date.
When you opened your my529 account, you provided information including name, address, phone number and account beneficiary information. If it’s been a while, it might be time to review that information.
You can easily update your contact information by logging in to your account at my529.org. You may also mail an Account Information Change form (Form 500) to the my529 offices. The form is available for printing at my529.org.
Enhance security with 2FA
Consider adding two-factor authentication (2FA) to enhance online security. 2FA has become the industry standard for financial institutions, requiring two separate verification methods, such as a password and one-time security code, to confirm the identity of the account owner. It only takes a few minutes to register for 2FA once you’re logged in.
Update passwords
If necessary, choose a stronger password to keep your account secure.
Select digital communications
If you prefer to get quarterly statements and tax forms through email, you can opt to receive digital mailings.
