We could move all of the EBT stickies into a new forum and have one sticky on this forum that has the heading "If you want to ask a question about an EBT - look 2 inches above this thread."

Agreed but most of it is from new posters that haven't done any research first. If they did their research properly most of the posts we see would not be required.

I don't think so. There is nothing to discuss like there is for umbrellas. There are two stickies on the subject and plenty of in formation in the news about them right now. Don't see what else there is to add.

We have one for Umbrella companies, any chance of the same for an EBT? Then the rest of us Lurkers don't have to read yet another post about giving yourself a loan from earned income.
