With school back in session for Oregon\u2019s students, it\u2019s time for parents to respond to recent changes made to Oregon’s 529 education savings plan.
\nTIAA CREF has been replaced as the Plan Administrator by Sumday Administration, LLC, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon. As a result, current Oregon 529 plan account owners are temporarily unable to deposit or withdraw funds from their existing accounts.<\/p>\n
Current account owners should have received a postcard from the plan, detailing the various dates for the changes, which are summarized below:<\/p>\n
September 6, 2018
\nNo new deposits or withdrawals can be made through the old administrator TIAA CREF<\/p>\n
September 7, 2018
\nOnline account access temporarily suspended<\/p>\n
September 10, 2018
\nCall the plan\u2019s service center at +1 (866) 772-8464 for account information<\/p>\n
September 12, 2018
\nOnline account access reopens, with a new account password required<\/p>\n
