This would be a new thing whenever you use up a banked year, so it’s not like the extension for 50k gifts they did this first year.

The end result being there are legacy and new banked years with different benefits along the way.

They didn’t award anything else (like more eups or other things the banked years would have gotten).
Thanks. Let's see how this works out in practice. I have very little faith it will be tracked properly as some of these legacy banked years may not be utilized until many years into the future.
