Plans Management Board



About the Board:

The Plans Management Board oversees the state’s investment programs. Available to the public, the 529 Educational Savings Plan hosts over 41,000 individual active accounts as of March 31, 2022. The 529 has continued to grow since its inception, helping residents plan for educational costs, and increasing college- and career-readiness. The 529A ABLE Savings Plan for individuals with disabilities opened in June of 2018, and holds nearly $2.1 million in assets. Finally, the Board supervises the Deferred Compensation Program which offers a 457(b) and 403(b) retirement plan for state employees. Over 32,000 state employees participate in the program with enrollment increasing rapidly over the last several years.

Duties of the Board:

  • Adopt rules and regulations for the general administration of its duties and establish subcommittees
  • Enter into any and all contracts, agreements, or arrangements necessary or desirable for carrying out the purposes of any of the Plans
  • Maintain, invest, and reinvest the funds contributed into the Plans consistent with the standard of care set forth
  • Approve the annual budget for each of the Plans and the collection of fees to defray all costs of the Plans
  • Arrange for an annual financial audit of each of the Plans, which shall be provided annually to the General Assembly

This body was established by Del. Code Title 29 Ch. § 2722 Plans Management Board.


 

Membership:

The Board is composed of 11 members, including the State Treasurer, the Secretary of Finance, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Insurance Commissioner and the Secretary of Education. Each may appoint a person to serve in their stead. Two state employees appointed by the Governor, one of whom can participate in the 403b Plan, also serve on the Board alongside four public members appointed by the Governor.
