does that mean the debt was discharged?
We're due to be discharged tomorrow (finally). I owed a 9 yr old debt to the State of Indiana for an over-payment of government benefits (food stamps); in which I included in our BK filing. I've been reading online and found information from the State pertaining to over payment of benefits and filing of BK, etc. There was no judgment or civil suit... just simply a determination of an over payment of benefits. As far as I can remember there also was no determination of fraud (I signed an agreement to repay the amount of over payment but don't remember anything about admitting to fraud).
Anyway, from what I've found here http://www.in.gov/fssa/files/4600.pdf the State would had to have filed an objection or atleast a complaint to determine dischargeability. I've also read that a lot of non-dischargeable debts are able to be discharged so long as there is no objection filed. Is this correct?
I'm just trying to get this sorted out before tax time because the Tax Off Set department is still showing that this debt is owed, which means they will take my part of our Fed. tax refund this year (or atleast attempt to as they have done in yrs past).
Is there a way to determine just by looking at our discharge papers if this debt has been discharged?
TIA!
