Taking the Means Test

Queens Bankruptcy – Taking the Means Test

Bankruptcy and the Means Test

A means test is used to calculate your eligibility for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy by looking at your “means” to pay, or your disposable income. The means test keeps those making a higher income from filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

If your debt is primarily consumer debt and not business debt, you are required to take a means test. After entering your income and expenses, the test will then see if you have enough disposable income to make payments to creditors in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you go through a debt restructuring process, or set up a repayment plan to pay back your debt over time. If you qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your non-exempt assets are sold and the proceeds go towards ridding you of your debt.

The means test involves uncovering a lot of financial information, along with understanding what IRS-approved allowances you can enter. If you are considering bankruptcy or want to find a debt relief program that fits you, contact Queens bankruptcy attorney Bruce Feinstein, Esq. He will be able to explain the bankruptcy process, administer a means test, and help you determine the best plan of action for getting out of debt, whether it is filing for bankruptcy or using bankruptcy alternatives.
