Twice a year, the Department of Justice revises the median income numbers applied for each state, when determining the standards of the Bankruptcy Means Test. The new figures apply to cases file on or after November 1, 2022. The Means Test Calculator has been updated.
The Means Test determines whether you can file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy or are restricted to Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
Most states saw their median incomes rise since the last reporting in April of 2022, but a few declined.
