Very strange...I am 2 1/2 yrs into my plan, and received a one time retension bonus of $10k - netted $6k. My atty said send the whole thing to the trustee, which I figured would happen. He also told me to call the trustee to ask how to endorse over the check. When I did, the person assigned to my case went into detail with me on my case and was very very helpfu! SHe also said that where as she could not offer me legal advise, she highly recommded I call my atty and ask him about giving this bonus in since my plan does not account for bonuses in Para 1 of the confirmation. Then she mentioned something about "however, there is aclause...something about funds received over $2500 must notify the trustee". But I did that and they told me to go back to my atty. LOL. She kept saying that she had no idea how to handle this because it was not in my plan. Anyways, my atty replied to my email and said "I received a call from the trustees office re: the bonus - GOOD JOB!"...I emailed him back and said "does this mean I can keep it?"...I haven't heard back yet. Now...I hate to sound skeptical and look a gift horse in the mouth, but I am seeing some decay on those back molers and it scares me! Anyone else been through this? Unfortunately I am not 100% confident in my atty's counsel. 
Congratulations!!
