Founder Tbird Posted December 5, 2023 Founder Share Posted December 5, 2023 The Honoring American Veterans in Extreme Need Act of 2018 (“HAVEN Act”) provides disabled military veterans and their families with greater protections in bankruptcy proceedings by allowing the exclusion of Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense Disability payments from the calculation when doing means testing and disposable income calculations. The Haven Act places military disability benefits in the same protected category as Social Security Disability Benefits. Note: Benefits to current service members may still be included. For example, monthly special compensation from the Department of Defense (DOD), and retirement pay for people on the temporary disability list. Chapter 7 Applicability Veterans or their family members should exclude income covered by the Act from the calculation of CMI under Chapter 7. Chapter 13 Applicability Veterans or their family members should exclude income covered by the Act from the calculation of CMI, which may affect the determination of projected disposable income available under a Chapter 13 Plan. haven-act-bankruptcy-protection-for-va-disability-compensation.pdf View full record Tbird Founder HadIt.com Veteran To Veteran LLC - Founded Jan 20, 1997 HadIt.com Veteran To Veteran | Community Forum | RallyPoint | FaceBook | LinkedIn | About Me Time Dedicated to HadIt.com Veterans and my brothers and sisters: 65,700 - 109,500 Hours Over Thirty Years I am writing my memoirs and would love it if you could help a shipmate out and look at it. I've had a few challenges, perhaps the same as you. I relate them here to demonstrate that we can learn, overcome, and find purpose in life. The stories can be harrowing to read; they were challenging to live. Remember that each story taught me something I would need once I found my purpose, and my purpose was and is HadIt.com Veterans.
