Chapter 13 - Alabama Southern Plan Instructions

When you generate your Chapter 13 plan, certain sections are automatically populated with data pulled directly from your case. This article explains exactly how each part of your plan is filled in, so you know how your case information needs to be entered for it to appear in the correct section of your plan.

​(These instructions are specific to the Alabama Southern Plan. If you are looking for a different district, you can search the Help Center for the article related to your plan.)

This section lists all domestic support obligation (DSO) claims where the treatment is to pay inside the plan.

This section lists all priority claims that are not domestic support obligations.

For each claim, enter:

This section lists all secured claims where the treatment is a § 506 cram-down. This section is only effective if § 1.1 is marked as included in the plan.

This section lists all secured claims where the treatment is to pay outside the plan, or outside the plan by a codebtor.

This section lists all claims where the intent is to surrender the collateral.

This section lists all leases and executory contracts, along with whether each will be assumed or rejected.
