The Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Means Test
In order to be eligible for chapter 7 bankruptcy, you must first pass a means test. If you have too much income, you will have to look at other options for clearing your debt. The allowable amounts are:
- $49,182 for individuals
- $65,097 for married couples
- $70,684 for families of three
- $79,971 for families of four
- $86,871 for families of five
In addition to your income level, having too many existing assets could disqualify you from chapter 7. For example, if you own multiple properties with equity, chapter 7 isn't right for you.
