529 reimbursement for previously paid tuition

The scenario: student withdrew $20,000 of unsubsidized government loans. $14,770 was used to pay student's tuition in January 2025.  Student is now married as of 3/2025 and has access to my leftover 529 money (spouse is a qualified family member of beneficiary).  Can the 529 be used to reimburse the qualified educational expense of $14,770 in addition to future tuition payments within this calendar year (2025)?

 

Thank you!
