"Closed" Chapter 7

Question - the difference between discharged 7 and closed 7 is ..... ? Thanks for any information.

Closed means, it really is over. Sometimes, you can be discharged but the case remains open so the trustee can distribute some assets like, an income tax refund.

Ah ha ... knew I could count on you, HHM, for a thorough explanation. Performed several searches through the FAQ and threads, but your noted thread did not pop up. Thank you so much for the insight and good read.
