For all units held at least three years (and for contracts cancelled due to the Beneficiary’s death, disability, receipt of scholarship or admission to a U.S. Military Academy), the Purchaser will receive the Refund Value, which is an amount equal to the price you paid for the unit plus or minus adjusted net investment earnings or losses on that amount, with the earnings rate set annually by the Board at a rate that is up to 2% less than the actual net earnings, is capped at 5%, and is net of any fees due and payable.

For units that do not meet the three-year holding period requirement, the Purchaser will receive the Reduced Refund Value.

Reduced Refund Value does not include any state-provided or procured matching contributions or earnings thereon.
All requests for cancellation must be made in writing and signed by the Purchaser in a format approved by the Plan. Please refer to the Plan Description and Master Agreement for more information.
