If my child decides to go into the military and does not go to college, what becomes of the money in the account?
As the account owner you have several choices: you may leave the money in the account for the original beneficiary to use in case he/she decides to pursue college at a later time; OR you may change the beneficiary to another person as long as the new beneficiary is a member of the family of the original beneficiary; OR you may withdraw funds from the account, understanding that there will be a penalty and that earnings will be taxed at your tax rate.
