PRINTING United Alliance, a member of Tomorrow's Workforce Coalition, applauds the House for passing the bipartisan Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act (H.R. 1151/S. 756) as part of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The bill now moves to the Senate for its consideration.
The majority of America’s workforce consists of middle-skill jobs that require more than a high school education but not a bachelor’s degree, and key industries are struggling to find adequately trained workers to fill these roles. The Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act would expand qualified expenses under 529 savings plans to include postsecondary training and credentialing, such as licenses and nongovernmental certifications. It would provide valuable tax-advantaged resources to more workers pursuing career growth, mid-career changes, or alternative career pathways.
If the legislation passes, the Alliance's iLEARNING+ courses and certifications would be eligible for the use of 529 savings plan funds to cover the costs of the course or certification.
