Means Test Question for Chapter 13
Date: Fri, 03/27/2009 - 07:13
I used legalconsumer.com and the means test there plugs in certain numbers based on where you live and how many in your household.
Thanks !
Hi Guest, Here is the Dept Of Justice page for the Means Test
Hi Guest,
Here is the Dept Of Justice page for the Means Test.
"National Standards for food, clothing and other items apply nationwide. Taxpayers are allowed the total National Standards amount for their family size, without questioning the amount actually spent.
"National Standards have also been established for minimum allowances for out-of-pocket health care expenses. Taxpayers and their dependents are allowed the standard amount on a per person basis, without questioning the amount actually spent.
"Maximum allowances for housing and utilities and transportation, known as the Local Standards, vary by location. In most cases, the taxpayer is allowed the amount actually spent, or the local standard, whichever is less."
Hope this helps,
