    Reimbursement is it Income?

    Does anyone know if reimbursement is considered income as it pertains to the means test and the median income?

    Who did you get reimbursed from and for what? (Sorry if I'm being dense)

      If it is for work related expenses (travel, lodging, meals, etc) then no, not considered income. Just paying you back for what you paid out..
      Thanks,

          If you mean that they pay you a seperate line item from which you turn around and buy your own health insurance -- then I believe the answer is yes, that is income. I have a similar situation with my employer and I've been told that counts as income. Check with your lawyer and let us know if you hear differently.

            Are you talking about something like a "flex credit"?

            If you take medical insurance, you get so many "company bucks" to use to pay for the premium. But if you don't take insurance, you don't make any more money? Or is your base pay increased by the "flex benefit" amount?

              I have a medical credit and a dental credit showing on each of my pay receipts. Although they appear to be income, mine are NOT considered part of my salary and are NOT reported to the IRS as income annually. They are just the portion of my health benefits my company pays, that's all.

              Our bk lawyer says these credits are confusing and quite tricky to get right on bk forms. I chose to get written documentation from my HR dept explaining that these credits are part of my "total compensation benefits package" but they are not income in case our trustee questions them.

                Great job in being proactive
