@jeffsw - I hope you're right one way or another. And if it comes to pass that stimulus payments have to go back through SBTPG, there is no way they can conceivably take a fee from the recipient.
Not legally - it would be a fee taken without consent (unless there was some legalese mumbo-jumbo buried in their TOS that covered such an eventuality).
Not morally - they'd be stealing from peoples' relief payments during a time of global crisis.
In any event, if they even tried to do that, they'd get crushed with a class action suit the size of Jupiter.
