Q: i was just wondering if a company files for chapter 11 will they still pay you
A: It depends. The company will require that you file a Proof of Claim with the Court in the proper format. The company will then proffer to the Court and/or certain creditors a Plan of repayment or reorganization. You may be a priority creditor that they desire to pay; you may be an unsecured creditor that gets paid in full, or paid nothing. Every case is different. You need to consult with a Bankruptcy Attorney in your area to take a look at this specific case and represent your interests.
