New retirement bill means big changes for retirement and 529 plans

Big changes are likely coming for Americans’ retirement savings. The changes, part of the Secure Act 2.0, were included in the sweeping end-of-year $1.7 trillion spending bill the Senate passed on Thursday. The package’s future now rests in the hands of the House, which is expected to follow suit Friday. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill into law shortly after.
