529 and GSL

<p>Anyone know if you can pay a student loan w/ funds from a 529 plan? If so, and the 529 is doing well, does it not make sense to let the 529 continue to draw interest, take the student loans, then pay the loans off with the 529 money before they start to charge interest? Am I missing something obvious?</p>

<p>A payment made on a student loan is not a qualified education expense for purposes of IRC Section 529.</p>

<p>Figures. I knew it was too logical. Thanks.</p>
