Ch 13 - income - is ssi & va benefits include in income

[Bkq]

Question:

For chapter 13 - is social security and va benefits (due to injuries in the military) - included as income - when filing a chapter 13??
Thanks!

I am not 100% sure, but I think that does count as income. I'd recommend scheduling a free consultation with a bankruptcy attorney or two, just to get all your questions answered for your jurisdiction.

I am receiving 80% VA pay and it is included as income for purposes of your bk but it is not taxed so it will increase your income.
