If you were in the process of filing for bankruptcy and the court is currently closed due to COVID-19, you will be protected by the automatic stay until proceedings can resume. As the country’s response to the pandemic evolves, further changes may affect your proceedings, so be sure to remain abreast of how your district is handling these processes.
Additionally, if you are currently in a payment plan as a result of bankruptcy, you may be eligible for an extension under the CARES Act (if you are experiencing hardship due to COVID-19).
