Meyer v. United States Trustee (In re Scholz)

Ruling
Railroad Retirement Act annuity should not have been excluded from projected disposable income calculation.
Procedural posture

Trustee objected to chapter 13 debtors' calculation of their current monthly income under 11 U.S.C.S. 101(10A). The bankruptcy court overruled the trustee's objection. The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel of the Ninth Circuit (BAP) found that a Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 (RRA) annuity was current monthly income but not projected disposable income under 11 U.S.C.S. § 1325(b). The trustee appealed.
