• Yes, Jackson Hewitt is offering a Holiday Loan and the structure appears to be exactly the same as the Emerald Advance from H&R block. When the loan is available, however, has yet to be publicized.
• Be advised, it is not the same type of loan in the past. The approval is much harder to obtain because they check your credit. The IPowerPlus loan checks your credit. They are also offering another line of credit, called the IAdvance which does not check your credit but does require that you have your payroll direct deposit to their ipower card. The program started in November. H & R Block is offering the Emerald Advance which also does a credit check and they aren't easy.

One is called the IPOWER PLUS Loan which checks your credit. The other is called the IADVANCE Loan which does not check your credit, but does require you to have direct deposit of your pay onto their ipower card. The program started in November. H H & R Block is offering the Emerald Advance which also does a credit check and they aren't easy.
