Re: Unemployment and Chapter `13

The answer depends on whether you can continue to make your plan payments while you're unemployed. Usually, that is not possible. You need to have your attorney file a motion to suspend plan payments or do a motion to modify your plan. A lot depends on if and when you find a new job. You may have to dismiss your case or convert to chapter 7.
