Is a person s employer notified when he or she files under chapter 13?
In most cases, yes. Many courts require a debtor s employer to make payments to the chapter 13 trustee on the debtor s behalf. Also, the chapter 13 trustee may contact an employer to verify the debtor s income. However, if there are compelling reasons for not informing an employer in a particular case, it may be possible to make other arrangements for the required information and payments.
