Under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA), for bankruptcies commencing on or after October 17, 2005, the plan length is determined by the relationship of the debtor's income to the median income in the state where the debtor filed the bankruptcy petition ((d)). Cases normally remain open for 36 to 60 months, with 60 months being the maximum and most common time frame. The debtors, who usually retain all of their assets, commit a portion of their future income to repay creditors. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy represents a voluntary reorganization of debts for individuals. Following the guidance in this IRM will ensure cases are worked in accordance with bankruptcy laws and regulations. The goal of this IRM is to provide fundamental knowledge and procedural guidance for working Chapter 13 cases, facilitating effective monitoring and timely closure actions on behalf of the government’s interest while ensuring taxpayer rights are protected. The primary stakeholder is SB/SE Collection, Specialty Collection Insolvency. The program owner is Collection Policy, Insolvency, an organization within the Small Business / Self-Employed (SB/SE) division.
