In re Crews

Ruling
Postpetition wages paid to chapter 13 trustee in case where plan was never confirmed became property of the debtors.
Procedural posture

The debtors, a husband and wife, moved for the turnover to them of postpetition chapter 13 funds they earned, following the conversion of the husband's case to a chapter 7, and the dismissal of the wife's case. The issue was whether postpetition wages paid into a chapter 13 case, in which a plan was never confirmed, remained property of the debtor's estate under 11 U.S.C. § 1306, became property of the debtors under 11 U.S.C. § 348(f).
