Thank you for the response! Here is a good FAQ from Ed.gov:
https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/arpfaq.pdf
They say that the monies can be used for tuition, room & board, meals etc. AND healthcare and mental care. So I’m still questioning whether the funds need to be deposited into the 529 given that you cannot use 529 for healthcare/mental care…
