U. S. Bankruptcy Court - S. D. Miss

Applies to: All Filers

Effective: Immediately

Case type: Bankruptcy Cases

Guidance: Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). Section 1113

The enactment of the CARES Act requires one-year amendments to five official bankruptcy forms to account for a new definition of “debtor” applicable to subchapter V of chapter 11 and a new exclusion from the definitions of “current monthly income” and “disposable income.”

The Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules has exercised the authority delegated to it by the Judicial Conference to make conforming technical changes to the following forms:

Official Form #	Form Description	Change Location
101	Voluntary Petition for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy	Line 13
201	Voluntary Petition for Non-Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy	Line 8
122A-1	Chapter 7 Statement of Your Current Monthly Income	Line 10
122B	Chapter 11 Statement of Your Current Monthly Income	Line 10
122C-1	Chapter 13 Statement of Your Current Monthly and Calculation of Commitment Period	Line 10
