She's been on Medicaid and Medicare for many years. She asked me whether Medicare or Medicaid would have a lien on the house she transferred to her son. How do such liens arise, and are they recorded so that I could find out with a preliminary title report?

Trustee has objected to 11-605(3) because the vehicle was not registered at the time of filing and therefore could not be operated lawfully on Idaho highways. Trustee cites In Re Sanders, 03.1 I.B.C.R. 57 (Bankr. D. Idaho 2003) to support his objection. The case deals with a debtor trying to exempt a motor cycle and my reading of the case seems to only apply to ATV's or other vehicles who's intended purpose is off road use. I havn't seen this argument applied to a normal street legal truck. Does the trustee have a leg to stand on? Any insights would be appreciated. -- Miller Law PLLC 6901 W.

We will be working with individuals on a case by case basis to assess any requests made. However, in order to better assist our office and avoid prolonging the process, please be sure to provide us with as much documentation as you are able to help support the request being made. IE: paycheck stubs showing a reduction in pay or a correspondence from the employer advising of the job loss or reduction in hours, etc. We will need to know if unemployment will be covering any of reduction/loss in pay. The unemployment offices are getting inundated with requests, so we know that there will likely be a delay there as well. We will do our best to review all requests in a timely fashion, but please be aware that our office may have reduced staffing as we also need to take time off and/or work reduced hours. Please keep in mind that if the monthly mortgage payments are to be paid through the plan, those will still need to be paid. We will do whatever we can to help in these strange times, pursuant to the terms of the confirmed plan. For those cases that are unconfirmed, we will not pursue dismissal if the months of March and/or April are missed and will be amenable to solutions helping the debtor(s) with repaying any missed months over the remaining term of the plan. We appreciate that this is a stressful and unprecedented time for all; it remains our hope that we are able to do whatever we can to make things easier both for yourselves and your clients effected by this pandemic.

From jpk at kam13trustee.com Thu Mar 19 16:23:53 2020 From: jpk at kam13trustee.com (Jeffrey Kaufman) Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2020 22:23:53 +0000 Subject: [CLBS] Clarification from Ms. McCallister's Office Message-ID: Listmates, With regards to the below message from Ms. McCallister?s office previously relayed by Mr. Geile (Thank you, Patrick), Ms. McCallister would like to clarify that the message was specific to those requests made by debtors who have been fiscally impacted by the response to the Covid-19 outbreak and/or measures taken to flatten the curve. And in that regard, for such requests, it will be very helpful for the trustee?s office to have documentation to support the particular request being made by a particular debtor. Please advise debtors that the relief they may seek from the trustee?s office should be related and limited to the scope of the impact. Ms. McCallister also wants to clarify that she will do what she can within the bounds of the debtor?s confirmed plan. Hopefully you recognize that there are statutory and judicial limits within which she may exercise her discretion ? for example, and if the particulars of the plan allows, granting up to two deferments per calendar year (per ? 2.5 of the Model Plan). However, she simply cannot ignore a confirmation order and forgo paying a conduit mortgage payment even though the debtor might otherwise qualify for a respite in mortgage payments. That might require a plan modification. In some cases, a deferment may be all that is necessary to provide relief to a particular debtor. In other cases, a plan may need to be modified and a new wage withhold order issued. The final clarification is that, for the time being, if the debtors missed payments in March and/or April due to the outbreak, then the trustee will refrain from seeking dismissal of the case, regardless of whether it?s a confirmed or unconfirmed case. Please note, that this is not carte blanche to simply skip payments. And the trustee?s office will keep a keen out for attempts to abuse this temporary policy. Lastly, it would be very helpful if you attorneys out there that represent banks and mortgage servicers could reach out to your clients and inquire if and how they intend to process relief for borrowers, both those inside and outside of bankruptcy. While Ms. McCallister understands that things are very fluid right now and processes and procedures may not necessarily be in place, having such information and knowledge, once available, will be very helpful for all of us knee deep in bankruptcy. Thus if you have any information as to the form by which that relief might come to borrowers, please share it if/when you are able. Cordially, Jeffrey P. Kaufman Staff Attorney, Kathleen A.

Please excuse typos, brevity, and terrible speech-to-text transcription errors. -------- Original message -------- From: Patrick Geile > Date: 3/19/20 13:50 (GMT-07:00) To: clbs at admws.idaho.gov Subject: [CLBS] FW: JOB LOSSES AND/OR REDUCTION IN PAY From Kathleen McCallister's office: In light of recent events, the Trustee and her staff would like to communicate what measures are being discussed to help assist those in need. We will be working with individuals on a case by case basis to assess any requests made. However, in order to better assist our office and avoid prolonging the process, please be sure to provide us with as much documentation as you are able to help support the request being made. IE: paycheck stubs showing a reduction in pay or a correspondence from the employer advising of the job loss or reduction in hours, etc. We will need to know if unemployment will be covering any of reduction/loss in pay. The unemployment offices are getting inundated with requests, so we know that there will likely be a delay there as well. We will do our best to review all requests in a timely fashion, but please be aware that our office may have reduced staffing as we also need to take time off and/or work reduced hours. Please keep in mind that if the monthly mortgage payments are to be paid through the plan, those will still need to be paid. We will do whatever we can to help in these strange times, pursuant to the terms of the confirmed plan. For those cases that are unconfirmed, we will not pursue dismissal if the months of March and/or April are missed and will be amenable to solutions helping the debtor(s) with repaying any missed months over the remaining term of the plan. We appreciate that this is a stressful and unprecedented time for all; it remains our hope that we are able to do whatever we can to make things easier both for yourselves and your clients effected by this pandemic.

That bill is House Bill 464, a copy is attached for your reference. The bill was transmitted to the Governor's office on 3/18/2020 and he signed it on 3/23/2020. The bill has an emergency clause so it is effective upon the governor's signature rather than July 1, 2020. Here is a summary of the changes: *Homestead exemption (55-1003) *- the sliding scale tying the exemption to the equity is removed; it is now a flat statutory amount. The exemption amount also increases from $100,000 to $175,000. *11-605(a),(b),(c)* - no change to the aggregate exemption amount but the single item exemption increases from $750 to $1000. *Tools of the trade (11-605(3))* - increases from $2,500 to $10,000 *Vehicle exemption (11-605(3))* - increases from $7,000 to $10,000 *Water rights/crops (11-605(7))* - increases from $1,000 to $5,000 *Firearm (11-605(8))* - increases from $750 to $1,500 *Wildard (11-605(10))* - increases from $800 to $1,500 *Disposable Earnings (11-605(11))* - increases from $1,500 to $2,500.

The House of Representatives will have to take up the bill shortly after the Senate passage; however, the Committee understands that while the House may want to add a liberalized homestead provision, the leadership is on board with these changes. Here is a summary of those provisions, all of which sunset after one year: ? Amends the Small Business Reorganization Act to increase the eligibility threshold to file under subchapter V of chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to businesses with less than $7,500,000 of debt. ? Amends the definition of income in the Bankruptcy Code for chapters 7 and 13 to exclude coronavirus-related payments from the federal government from being treated as ?income? for purposes of filing bankruptcy. ? Clarifies that the calculation of disposable income for purposes of confirming a chapter 13 plan shall not include coronavirus-related payments. ? Explicitly permits individuals and families currently in chapter 13 to seek payment plan modifications if they are experiencing a material financial hardship due to the coronavirus pandemic, including extending their payments for up to seven years after their initial plan payment was due.

Most of you have already seen the notice below but I wanted to post to the list serve. From Noah Hillen: Counsel: The U.S. Trustee?s Office has provided additional guidance regarding 341 meetings. There will be no in-person 341 meetings until further notice. First meetings will be conducted via telephone conference. 1. March 19, 2020 341 Meetings ? These meetings will be reset for Thursday, April 9, 2020. We are not changing the time of the first meeting. For example, if the meeting was originally set for 8:00 a.m. on March 19, 2020, then the meeting will be conducted on April 9, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. This week, I will be filing a notice in each case resetting the first meeting and providing instructions for a conference call-in line. All debtors and attorneys should call into the line ten minutes prior to the start of the meeting. We will then call each case scheduled for that hour. 1. April 2, 16, and 30, 2020 341 Meetings ? These meetings will continue as scheduled, but will be telephonic meetings. This week, I will be filing a notice in each case providing instructions for a conference call-in line. All debtors and attorneys should call into the line ten minutes prior to the start of the meeting. We will then call each case scheduled for that hour. Telephonic meetings may also continue beyond April 30, 2020. 1. Conference Line Information for Noah Hillen ? Each trustee will have a unique conference line. My conference line phone number is (877) 386-7687. The participant code is 8741318. The first meeting notices mentioned in items one and two above will also provide this call-in information. 1. 341 Meeting Instructions for Debtor?s Counsel ? I have attached instructions for Debtor?s counsel for attending the telephonic first meetings. Please review this document. Note, that Debtor?s counsel will now be required to verify their clients? identification and Social Security Numbers. Debtor?s counsel will also need to be in video communication with their client during the meeting, via Skype, Facetime, or other conferencing software. Debtors who cannot communicate with their attorney via a video communication system must copy, scan, or take a picture of their identification and proof of social security number and mail / email / send the copies or images to my office no later than two days prior to the meeting of creditors. 1. Bankruptcy Information Sheet ? Attached is a copy of the Bankruptcy Information Sheet. Please ensure your clients review this sheet in advance of the 341 meeting. 1. Interpreter Cases ? If your clients will need the assistance of an interpreter, then contact my office at least two days prior to the 341 meeting. My office will make sure that an interpreter is available for the 341 meeting. If your client will need the assistance of an ASL interpreter, then please contact me as soon as possible, as we will need to make special arrangements for an ASL interpret. Thank you. From: Noah Hillen [mailto:ngh at hillenlaw.com] Sent: Monday, March 16, 2020 2:46 PM Subject: First Meetings Continued - Immediate Attention Required Importance: High Effective immediately, all in-person chapter 7, 11, 12, and 13 section 341 meetings scheduled through April 10, 2020, are continued until a later date to be determined. Appropriate notice will be provided to parties in accordance with the bankruptcy code and rules. Counsel: Please immediately advise your clients of the continued first meetings. The U.S. Trustee?s Office has requested the court post a notice on its website. The U.S. Trustee?s Office will also post a notice on its website. Absent special circumstances, section 341 meetings may not proceed during this period except through telephonic or other alternative means not requiring personal appearance by debtors. Eventually, we will have conference call lines set up for 341 meetings, however, for those meetings scheduled during the next week or so, there is inadequate time to arrange and provide notice to parties for telephonic 341 meetings. These meetings will be continued to a date to be determined. I do not know what future date meetings will be continued to. I will provide additional information when it becomes available. Noah G.
