Bankruptcy Basics: Median Family Income.
The next step is to obtain the applicable median family income. These figures for each state and household size can be found on the United States Trustee Program’s website at https://www.justice.gov/ust. The specific income figure used will be for the debtor’s household size. As the Bankruptcy Code does not define household, some courts apply the Census Bureau definition, which generally includes all people who occupy a housing unit regardless of relationship.
