All government employees, including military personnel, have the same rights to file for bankruptcy as any other citizen of the U.S. In some cases, members of the military and veterans even have additional benefits and options during the process of filing for bankruptcy than other citizens. Despite government pensions, salaries, benefits, and other financial support systems that military personnel and veterans have access to, sometimes it isn\u2019t enough. Financial problems and debt can accumulate over time or happen suddenly when unforeseen expenses arise. With the help of Behm Law Group, Ltd., filing for bankruptcy in New Ulm, MN, is an effective method of recovery from financial struggles as a military veteran.<\/p>\n

While members of the military and veterans follow the same rules and processes of bankruptcy as other citizens for the majority of cases, there are certain circumstances where they have additional benefits.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Active-Duty Military<\/strong>: If you\u2019re on active duty and file for bankruptcy, you\u2019re protected under the Servicemember\u2019s Civil Relief Act (SCRA<\/a>). This act provides legal protection and may allow the courts to postpone or stay bankruptcy proceedings while you are in service overseas. The effect of automatic stay<\/a> is also still active in addition to the benefits of the SCRA.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Disabled Veterans<\/strong>: If you\u2019re a disabled veteran, you\u2019re not required to pass the Means Test<\/a> to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. As a disabled veteran with debts primarily incurred while you were on active duty or in homeland defense, you\u2019re exempt from taking the Means Test. Government-rated disabilities at 30% or higher, or discharge from duty because of disability will allow you to forgo the Means Test when filing for Chapter 7.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Call to Active Duty<\/strong>: There are other cases that exempt military personnel from taking the Means Test when filing for Chapter 7. If you\u2019re on reserve duty or a member of the National Guard and you\u2019re called to active duty, or were in homeland defense 90 days after the 9\/11 attack, you can forgo the Means Test during and 540 days after active duty.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        As a U.S. citizen\u2014civilian, military personnel, or veteran\u2014the support system of financial recovery through bankruptcy is designed to be an option for all that qualify.
