Q: I'm currently in chapter 13 as of November 2019. Will the Knoxville TN trustee be keeping the coming stimulus check?
What a blessing! Thank you so much sir for your quick response! Have a safe and healthy evening!
Sincerely,
Tina Humphrey
A: Yes! The CARES Act explicit excludes the stimulus payments from "current monthly income." In other words, it does not need to be paid into your Chapter 13 plan

A: I misspoke. The trustee will not keep your stimulus check as it is not to be paid in your plan. In other words, you will keep the money.
