Re: After Discharge
A bankruptcy discharge is nothing more than a court order saying to your creditors that they are no longer allowed to go after you in collections. There is a lookback period for windfalls; if you win the lottery within the lookback period, you'd have to renegotiate your discharge, for example.
Retirement bonuses are not generally considered to be windfalls.
