Only the State and Federal government institutions have the right to levy your bank account directly. Banks can take your paycheck to cover insufficient funds in the check-owner's bank account (with that bank) but cannot do so just because the owner of the account is filing for bankruptcy.

Can you work for the government after filing bankruptcy?

Absolutely! I had a bankruptcy and I enjoy working in a State government. I have colleagues in the FedGov who have had financial problems in their history. The trick is that you show that you're paying your debts on time and explain why you were late in the past. Circumstances happen, and sometimes, people just made bad choices. Either way, the key is time. So, if you've had a bankruptcy just a minute ago, you might have to wait a year or so to show the gov that you are maintaining all your current payments on time and do not live too far above your means.
