Means Test after moving to a new state...
If I move to a new state and then shortly thereafter file bankruptcy, I think I have to use the exemptions for my old state, correct? But what about the rest of the Means test (housing allowance, transportation allowance, etc.)? Can I use the new city/state's limits for that? Or am I bound to the old state for that as well?

Yes. You can't use your new state's exemptions until you've lived there for two years.Originally posted by Poppie View Post
Once you establish residency in your new state (and that time period can vary from state to state - but is typically between 30-90 days), you can use your new state's required figures for housing, utilities, transportation, etc. on the Means Test.But what about the rest of the Means test (housing allowance, transportation allowance, etc.)?I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice nor a statement of the law - only a lawyer can provide those.
