The Means Test and Bankruptcy Qualification
In order to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you must not exceed a certain threshold of income. To determine whether or not you exceed this threshold, you must first complete what is known as the means test, which measures gross income with national and local standards of income and expenses. If you do not qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may still be able to file for Chapter 13.
In the end, we have found that most consumers qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The means test is simply an additional hurdle the government added to the process. Our lawyers have extensive experience helping people like you with the means test and answering questions about bankruptcy qualification. We will work to make the process as simple and worry-free for you as possible.
The government audits one in every 250 bankruptcies, and they pay special attention to the means test. For this reason, it is especially important to have an experienced bankruptcy attorney helping you with the test and guiding you through the process. A mistake could wind up derailing your bankruptcy and crushing your debt relief goals.
