A fee can be waived if debtor's income is less than 150% of the most currently published HHS poverty guidelines which are based on family size. If the debtor does not qualify under this standard, the following may also considered, including, but not limited to: whether the debtor receives unemployment, is filing pro se, the debtor’s net worth, the percentage debtor's income from government assistance programs; or whether the debtor is receiving pro bono legal services in connection with a bankruptcy case. We ask for verification of income and household size either from bankruptcy documents, proof of income, or an attorney representing the debtor.

In a case that is not a joint case, current monthly income of the debtor's spouse shall not be considered if- (i) the debtor and the debtor's spouse are separated under applicable non-bankruptcy law; or (ii) the debtor and the debtor's spouse are living separate and apart, other than for the purpose of evading making payments; and (iii) the debtor files a statement under penalty of perjury.

We have an obligation to provide a certificate to the debtor promptly upon the completion of an instructional course.

A debtor/student will receive a certificate only if he or she completes a telephone or internet instructional course. Completion occurs when a student has participated in the live telephone class, completed the quiz, returned it to the provider, it has been graded and a passing grade (70) achieved. In this case a certificate will then be sent. If the student in a telephone class does not pass the quiz, a teacher will call that student and discuss the failing grade. Only after this communication takes place will a certificate be sent to the debtor. In the event a student taking the online class, completes it, but does not achieve a passing grade (70) on the quiz, a teacher will communicate with that person by email to discuss the failing grade. Only after this communication will a certificate then be sent to the debtor.
