Revised Model Chapter 13 Plan Effective September 1, 2019
The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida has announced a revised Model Chapter 13 Plan effective September 1, 2019.
The Middle District of Florida’s Model Chapter 13 Plan has been revised, effective September 1, 2019. The revised Model Plan more clearly informs debtors that if they elect certain plan treatments of secured claims, they will not receive a discharge of those claims. See Sections C.(5)(a), (b), (c), (h), (i), and (k), and Sections 6.(a) and (b). In addition, Sections 5.(a) and (b) clarify that debtors may cure arrearages on homeowner’s and condominium assessments and may, but need not, include the payment of post-petition assessments in their plan payments. The revised Model Plan also includes several non-substantive revisions.
