Re: if you filed BK7 and you already got the Case number

It is something you need to analyze in terms of does the new income take you beyond the limits of the means test. A change in circumstances during the pendency of a case should be reported to the Trustee handling your case, and if your new income pushes you into a situation where there is a pressumption that your chapter 7 filing was abusive, they may seek to convert you to a chapter 13.
