Median income levels for the bankruptcy means test rise again

New data released by the Census Bureau as of April 1, 2018 will result in it being a bit easier to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in either New Hampshire or Massachusetts.

Median income levels are used by the bankruptcy court to determine whether a debtor qualifies for a Chapter 7 case, and also to determine if a Chapter 13 debtor must file a three year plan or a five year plan.

Effective April 1, 2018, the median income levels in Massachusetts and New Hampshire are as follows:

MASSACHUSETTS:

One person household: $62,660.00
Two person household: $80,180.00
Three person household: $98,758.00
Four person household: $123,864.00
Five person household: $132,264.00
Six person household: $140,664.00

NEW HAMPSHIRE:

One person household: $64,531.00
Two person household: $75,856.00
Three person household: $92,263.00
Four person household: $115,926.00
Five person household: $124,326.00
Six person household: $132,726.00
