All of our Chapter 13 Plans have merge tags that pull information from your case directly into your plan. Each tag has a set of instructions, which describe the logic within the app, so that you can easily understand how this tag is populated. Below is a list of your plan specific tags with their corresponding instructions.
(Hint: These instructions are for the District of Columbia Plan. If you have a district specific plan, you can search the Help Center for the article related to your plan.)
