• holding that a tax refund is not included as earnings under the “or otherwise” language found in 15 U.S.C. § 1673 or Wyoming exemption law, Wyo. Stat. Ann. §§ 1-15-102 and 1—15—408(b)
• finding that Wyoming’s reference to 24 “earnings” precluded inclusion of the EITC
• Wyoming public benefits exemption statute did not protect EITC because it is a \tax overpayment” and not a \welfare grant”
• finding the EITC not exempt because it was neither earnings nor a welfare grant
• EIC is property of the estate, citing In re Montgomery, 219 B.R. 913, 916 (10th Cir. BAP 1998)
• panel concluding that EITC is not “earnings” under Wyoming exemption statute
