While anyone can make a contribution, all payments made to a VEST account are deemed to come from the account owner for all tax reporting and other administrative purposes. The total value of all accounts for a single beneficiary in all section 529 plans administered by the VCSP (VPEP, VEST, CollegeAmerica, and CollegeWealth) is limited to $250,000.

Account owners can make contributions to their VEST account in the following ways:

• Check or money order at any time
• Payroll deduction (if offered by the employer)
• Automatic deduction from a checking or savings account
