Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

The reason social security payments are not considered "monthly income" and
are not put into the means test (and do not have to be included in best
efforts test) is because they are excluded from the definition of CMI under
section 101. VA benefits are not treated like SSI. Look at the rule because
the rule applies to "benefits received under the Social Security Act." I do
not know what "act" authorized the VA benefits.
