Expenses

[Lmp523]

I am Curious about allowances for expenses like clothing for example . Everything is so expensive right now. I really don’t buy many clothes but food prices have me worried

The numbers will change in April, but head over to UST Means Testing to get a preview. (These are for cases filed after 11/1/2023, but it should update again in April, 2024.)

Specifically, scroll down to section 2. National Standards: Food Clothing & Other Items. It will give you the numbers by number of household members. The number you want is "Apparel & Services" which will cover clothing. It's not much per month.

Let us know if you need any help.
