However, there are some screening rules and qualification procedures for Chapter 7.
- In order to qualify, the debtor must compare his annual income to the median income for an average household in the State in which he resides. While calculating the income, the debtor should take an average of his gross income for the most recent three months multiplied by 12. The resultant amount should be below the state median income in order to qualify.
- In case the debtor does not qualify for the above category, then the monthly disposable income is taken into consideration. If the income is insufficient to meet essentials and necessities, then the debtor can qualify. The disposable income is calculated taking the same three-month average income and deducting the various expenditures from it. However, what has to be deducted is predetermined by the state laws, and luxuries are clearly eliminated. Standard lifestyle is taken into consideration, and not the debtor's personal lifestyle.
- Every State has a U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Debtors should file in the county that they live in. All the necessary forms that have to be filled are available online and they can be filed online. When a debtor satisfies the above two conditions, he or she would be eligible to file for bankruptcy.
