Presently, Section 341 First Meetings of Creditors are conducted by phone for health and safety reasons. So, the items debtors used to bring to in-person 341 Meetings are now provided to the Chapter 13 Trustee ahead of the meeting. [Those items are a picture ID such as a Driver’s License and proof of your Social Security number such as a Social Security Card, an IRS Form W2 or 1099, or anything else that you did not create that shows your full and accurate SSN.] If and when we return to in-person 341 Meetings, you should be prepared to bring them with your to the 341 Meeting.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR A 341 MEETING?
Section 341 Meetings are to allow the Chapter 13 Trustee and any interested parties time to ask you questions. The Court normally schedules about 12 meetings an hour. That means each meeting might take about 5 minutes each. So, yes, it’s pretty quick. We give our clients the expected questions ahead of time so you know what to expect. To be ready for the questions, please review your petition thoroughly ahead of time. Please let us know immediately if you see any errors/corrections or budget updates to make.
