3/9

In order to qualify for Chapter 7's elimination of all debt except taxes, child support and student loans, you must meet a means test . The amount varies across the country because the requirement is that your family income must be less than the median income for a family of similar size in your state.

To find the median family income in your state, see the U.S. Census Bureau information which includes a state-by-state listing at http://www.census.gov offsite link

If your family income exceeds the state median income for a household of your size, you may be required to repay a portion of what you owe.
