Limited access to the START system has been restored, state officials say.

"As of 9 AM today (October 10), 2,640 START account holders have accessed the START system. Yesterday (October 9), Louisiana’s 529 college START savings accounts were brought back online with limited functionality after a cyber incident led the entire system to be taken offline.
