Will you lose your COVID-19 stimulus money if you file for bankruptcy protection?
TITLE X—BANKRUPTCY RELIEF SEC. 1001. BANKRUPTCY RELIEF.
MUSINGS BY DIANE:
Law is a complicated set of rules and procedures – many unwritten. It amazes me how many people do not ask for guidance when they are faced with crippling debt. They live in fear every day and their family is in that same hell. There are resources to help everyone learn how to handle their money.
When something bad happens, like health issues, unemployment, death or divorce, it is time to ask for advice from those who care about your welfare and future. The Internet is seen as the source for all answers. Want to learn how to knit? Go to YouTube for some great videos. Want to learn if someone can take your wages? Go to an experienced bankruptcy attorney who cares about you and your future. Be very careful about asking those who are just out to take your money (yes, even some attorneys – several bad Arizona attorneys are discussed in my website).
