Hi - I thought this was important so I am posting this in a new post. This is the CORRECT current list of prohibited words. Bettycat pointed out that the word 'plan' was not on the other list I had posted and she was correct. I had thought the Announcement in the Archives in the ibo support site dated from 3/2007 was what was being used currently, but it's NOT. Please use the list below.
As previously noted, we cannot use 'plan' or 'benefits' but can use 'program' or care.
Tina
