The new bankruptcy law states not to include social security benefits as income. We receive long term disablity as well. that our attorney showed as income. When filing our papers our attorney did as the new law states, which in turn showed that we owed zero amount to our creditors since the social security was not to be included. When we went before the Trustee for the 341 meeting, the Trustee did not feel that it was right for us to owe nothing and challenged our attorney to prove to him why the social security that we receive should not be included as income. Does a Trustee have the capacity to request this? He wants us to pay something, but why should the law change? Has there been a similar case since the law changed in 2005?
