Below is a chart that shows the median incomes for means test purposes for bankruptcy cases filed in Minnesota effective May 15, 2022:
Note: Your income for means test purposes is determined by all income received in the 6 full months prior to filing your case. We figure out the amount of gross income that you received during those 6 months and then multiply it by 2; if the total is under the “Gross Annual Income” listed in the chart above for your household size, then there will likely not be a means test issue.
If your case is filed any time between June 1 and June 30, for example, then all gross income received from December 1 through May 31 will be used to calculate your gross income for means test purposes.
