A person's income does not count after filing chapter 7 bankruptcy. All that counts is what you had before filing bankruptcy.
Yes.
I spoke with a lawyer that he said it does.
I filed chap 13 Aug of 08 and they did include my VA disability as income.
does rental income count against ss income limits
First of all, I want to apologize for taking a long time to answer this question. But I had to make sure that my answer was correct before I would pass it on to you. Here goes: YES, you can foster children under section 8. What's better than that, is that whatever income from fostering the children does not count against your income for the calculation of rent. This is because foster parents are really not supposed to be paid to foster children: they are supposed to use whatever money is given to them by the State for the child's benefit.
Social Security benefits (retirement and disability) count as income for Medicaid. However, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) does not count as income for Medicaid.
That depends on your situation. If you are facing a bankruptcy in Minnesota, you need to contact an attorney who understands the law as it relates to your specific situation. It is not reasonable to expect actionable legal advice without a complete history of the circumstances surrounding your case.
As long as you have not recently transferred assets to your bf to become insolvent, it would be a great time to file Chapter 7. If you are living with him, his income will count towards the means test, so if his income is above the annual median family income for your state, you may have to file a Chapter 13. Be sure to check with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer.
No, only that money which you earn or interest from investments count as income and it is only income that is taxed, not money that you borrow.
In the U.S., your federal income tax refund does not count as taxable income for the next year. If you receive a refund from your state, and you itemized your deductions on the federal return, then the state refund will count as income on your federal return. (If you didn't itemize, then your state refund won't count as income.)
No it is not income.
