Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that 529 plans affect eligibility for need-based financial aid?

Yes. One source states directly that participation in 529 college-savings plans can affect eligibility for need-based grants, scholarships and loans, sometimes dollar-for-dollar. A second source's abstract confirms it examines how saving affects financial aid eligibility, though it reports no specific finding.
