What happens if I lose my job?

 

If there is any disruption in the normally scheduled payments required under your Chapter 13 Plan (due to illness, layoff, job termination, etc.) please contact your attorney immediately.  The Trustee’s Office conducts a monthly review of all cases to determine which are in default, and from this review, prepares a list of cases to dismiss for nonpayment.  The Trustee’s Office will attempt to work with you to rearrange your payments temporarily to avoid dismissal of your case.
