STATEMENT OF THE U.S. TRUSTEE PROGRAM'S POSITION ON LEGAL ISSUES ARISING UNDER THE CHAPTER 7 MEANS TEST
April 23, 2010 (original source: https://www.justice.gov/ust/eo/bapcpa/docs/ch7_line_by_line.pdf)
Following is a line-by-line summary of the original Form B 122A and various recurring disposable income issues likely to arise in chapter 7 under the BAPCPA provisions of 11 U.S.C. § 707(b).
The summary gives the position of the United States Trustee Program (USTP) on these issues.
For ease of reference, the USTP positions are listed in summary fashion without citation to legal authority.
Unless a circuit court has decided an issue to the contrary, United States Trustees will, absent unusual circumstances, maintain these positions when interpreting section 707(b).
NOTE:
The referenced lines in the original government document are those on the old Form B 122A.
LegalConsumer.com has modified the text from original US Trustee's pdf document to reflect the current numbering of the forms and names of the forms in 2021, but we have left the original references to the 2010 forms for legacy reasons.
