employment okay after 341, but before discharge???

[freelancer47]

I have just a quick question. When I filed my Chapter 7 case PRO SE, I was currently unemployed and I still am currently unemployed. I have already had my 341 hearing and now am officially in the 60 day waiting period, actually creditors only have about 30 days now to object, before discharge..My 341 was last month....

My question is, if I were to get employed now, if I am lucky to find a job in this enconomy, would that effect my bankruptcy case????? AND would I have to let the trustee know, or is that part in time over with for now??

I have about $23,000 in debt, of $8,100 is student loans???

Any help that you can give would be greatly apprecited..

I was told by my lawyer to wait till discharged to find a job. I believe you are suppose to report any new/change in income to the trustee. Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge will chime in soon.

I started a new job one week after my 341 hearing. Didn't matter.

I think the answer depends on how sharp your local Bankruptcy court is. My wife scored a part-time job BEFORE our 341 meeting and our Attorney's position was to say nothing unless we were asked directly. The Bankruptcy system in this district seems to be very unsophisticated and they don't try very hard to scrutinize anyone.
