Adjustments to Certain Dollar Amounts in the Bankruptcy Code & Official Forms

I have attached a communication from James Duff, the Director of Administrative Office of United States Courts that sets out the upcoming automatic adjustments to the dollar amounts set forth in various provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and one provision in Title 28 of the United States Code. The amended dollar amounts will effect eligibility to file under Chapters 12 & 13, the means test guidelines, and many other provisions. It will also cause changes in the following Official forms:

Official Form 1, Voluntary Petition
Official Form 6C, Schedule of Property Claimed as Exempt
Official Form 6E, Schedule of Creditors Holding Claims Entitled to Priority
Official Form 7, Statement of Financial Affairs
Official Form 10, Proof of Claim
Official Form 22A, Statement of Current Monthly Income and Means Test Calculation (Chapter 7)
Official Form 22C, Statement of Current Monthly Income and Calculation of Commitment Period and Disposable Income (Chapter 13)
Director’s Form 200, Required Lists, Schedules, Statements and Fees
Director’s Form 283, Chapter 13 Debtor’s Certifications Regarding Domestic Support Obligations and Section 522(q)
These changes apply to cases filed on or after April 1, 2010. The pdf document provides details.
