Order in which claims are paid by the trustee?

[tigergem]

I'm sure it's no big deal -- just a matter of curiosity -- since everybody will get paid anyway, but I thought the IRS would get paid their disbursement first. But the Trustee issued the first disbursement to my secured creditor. (And himself, of course!)

Or do they typically pay the largest claim first?

By the way, I am loving that 13datacenter.com has a full accounting and I can see where the money is going.

Mine were paid in the following order

Secured
Priority (IRS)
Unsecured

From what I've seen so far-

Before confirmation, vehicles get paid. I think this is because they are a declining value asset?

He didn't make the first disbursement until after my confirmation, at the end of that month.

according to my plan, secured, tt, and lawyer get paid first. the unsecured creditors get paid afterwards.

Seems there is some variation between districts about when payments happen at all. Mine seems to pay on the 1st of the month or thereabouts. And the trustee fee comes off of any/all payments sent out.
