What We Cover
Bankruptcy
Our Bankruptcy Means Test Calculator launched in May 2006 and is now in its 28th edition. It has served over 3 million consumers and has been updated regularly through the latest edition for bankruptcies filed on or after November 1, 2022. We also have extensive listings of state and federal bankruptcy exemption laws and information about using your local bankruptcy court.
Obamacare
In 2013, when the Republican legislature of Missouri passed a law prohibiting state employees from giving information about how to sign up for Obamacare, we added Obamacare By Zipcode, and a year later ranked #1 on google for "Missouri Obamacare" (and in Texas too!) Since then, we've updated our info every year and have the latest on how to sign up for Obamacare for 2023 in your state!
