Possible new job before discharge...

[NASCAR20FAN]

What if I accept a new position that pays more before my discharge? Could that cause a then to rethink my case?

I looked at this quite a bit due to my own situation. I think you are fine. Especially with the 341 being completed. Just my opinion though.

In a online chat with a lawyer last night, I asked the same question and he said that nobody ever reports it. I've had two consults with lawyers where one said it's a big issue and the other said don't worry.

[NASCAR20FAN]

Good, because if I get this job it will be twice my salary now

I'm assuming you are Ch 7?

I'm assuming you are Ch 7?

Yeah

I went through a minor audit by the UST right before my 341. They wanted my last 6 paystubs as part of that. My attorney sent them the last 6 before I filed even though I had been paid a couple of times after that. The UST never said anything about it and the time for objections has passed.

[NASCAR20FAN]

The paystubs are part of the filing process... I just don't want to get killed here. If I do get this job, it will still take me about a year to get back on my feet completely.

Yeah

Well you get out and do that happy dance!!!!!!!!!

You're going to be off to one heck of a fresh start!

If you filed honestly re: income and reported honestly at 341 and had a chap. 7, that you should be fine.
I think under the old law that could technically examine a case for up to a year, but I don't think that they ever did, unless someone won the mega-millions lottery nd someone happened to recognize the name. Under the new law, it seems even less likely that they would check.
I asked my atty. the same question and they told me that after my 341 was over that I was free to ger another job and that if my income changed (even dramatically) that it was all over and not to worry as long as I had represented the facts honestly at my 341 (and I believe that included significant increases in my income). At the time, I anticipated and received a major short term loss in income. Since it was a chap. 7 and not 13, they could have cared less, so I presume that the opposite would also be true.
Best wishes, Art

One out of 250 cases are supposed to be audited now, but they're probably so behind from the huge filings in October.

You reported your current monthly income (based on last 6 months) accurately when filing. You reported your projected income accurately when filing if you didn't have the offer yet. You were asked at the 341 if you anticipate any changes in income and you didn't at that time.

When does the new job start? In this case, I'd think the later the better just in case.
