Here's the response from the Auditor's Payroll Supervisor: We use to have as payroll deduction until November 2013, when they stopped the payroll deduction process. Employees must now work directly with College Advantage (OTTA) for membership.

I have an easy question for you all this morning. We have had a baby boom here at Erie County and we are in the process of trying to persuade our Auditor's office that offering the College Advantage 529 College Savings Plan via payroll deduction would be a good thing. Just curious as to how many of you offer this benefit, and is it available through payroll deduction. Thanks - and here comes September ready or not. Nancy Nancy A.
