Summary:

In the above Scenario C, a family with a modest EFC and a substantial 529 balance will lose the most. The break even point is when 529 annual distributions equal the EFC, and the account has a zero balance at the end of 4 years – an unlikely occurrence. There are a myriad of scenarios that can be played out here, but as always, it's the "neediest" of families who lose the most.
