Other B4 besides Deloitte, are they still allowing you to expense meals and snacks? We are unable to expense anything at Big D now that it’s WFH. Have you also been able to expense items like monitors and printers? We got one additional monitor but nothing else here - trying to determine if this is the norm amongst the other B4.

Yes this is not a “new” benefit. You have always been allowed to use that fund for standing desks ergonomic chairs. EY is just giving everyone an FYI that it’s available, it’s not new but they are acting like it is.
