Actually, I saw a notice at my local market that the EBT crowd is getting their payments early due to the government shutdown. I kid you not.

Sooner or later there will be a six, seven, or eight week (or longer) month.

Then it will get dicey.

That’s the story with the idea being that no payments are coming in March.

The most recent credit went out early - now weeks ago. Now, they're following it up with reminder messages to BUDGET the funds, not just blow them because they arrived early.

Saw the same thing in PA. February Benefits were going to be applied to cards on the 20th of January. This was a notice from a local charity warning users not to spend all of the money because there would be no more in February.

Guessing there will be lots of shrimp, steak and lobster sold at the end of this month and sob stories at the end of February of how receipients have run out of funds.

I saw that too. But eventually the money will run out. And the gvt, if it’s smart(?), will figure out a way to continue pmts. There will be hell to pay if they don’t.
