Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California
Is money received from student loans after your tuition is paid considered income for bankruptcy filing purposes? If so I would like the bankruptcy code that applies to this question.
1 Answer from Attorneys
If you are borrowing money, it is not income for means testing purposes. You have to repay it, so it does not fit the definition of income.
