How to Determine Bankruptcy Eligibility

While bankruptcy is a viable option for many, there a number of different measures and requirements the government has put in place to determine eligibility. Some of them calculate your existing finances, others are meant to demonstrate that you've pursued help and have a firm understanding of your circumstances.

Before filing for bankruptcy, you must:

• Submit a petition and thorough documentation to court
• Attend U.S. Trustee-accredited credit counseling within six months prior to filing
• Take the means test to determine which Chapter is best

The means test calculates your income and finances and compares it to a state average, determining if you qualify for Chapter 7 protection. In cases where income reaches over the benchmark, applicants might still be eligible for Chapter 13 protection.
