The courts continue to require payments to be made timely unless an application is filed requesting a suspension or lowering of payments. Generally, these requests are being granted if due to COVID-19 related issues. Missed payments will need to be made up at some point, and to help with that as part of the actions by Congress and the President in response to Covid-19, Chapter 13 plans which had already been confirmed can now be extended for two additional years to help debtors make the required payments. Further, Chapter 13 Trustees have implemented some new ways to assist debtors during the coronavirus pandemic. This includes allowing debtors to change from wage orders to direct pay. Doing so will let debtors determine how much they can afford to pay into their plans. Also, there are now procedures to allow Trustees to temporarily stop mortgage payments under certain circumstances.
