Investors with questions about any of the plan's features should contact the state or the plan sponsoring the program. Most plans offer toll-free phone numbers to assist investors. Contact information for each of the states is available through the CSPN website.

When considering opening a 529 account you may want to consult with a financial adviser. If you consult with a financial adviser, you should ask whether the adviser has a relationship with any particular plan he or she is recommending. You also should be sure to ask an adviser about the plans offered by your home state to ensure that the plan you ultimately select is the plan that best suits your needs. If your financial adviser does not recommend your home state's plan, you should obtain and review information on your home state's plan before making an investment decision.
