Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

The Means Test is determined at the time of filing.
Generally, you would file a "post petition change to Income," to
demonstrate the changed circumstances that warrant a conversion from 13 to
7. You don't change the means test.
Hope this helps.

Schedule I can be the same period, or a more recent period, so long as you disclose the basis in the comment section. The last sentence at the top of the form reads: The average monthly income calculated on this form may differ from the current monthly income calculated on Form 22A, 22B or 22C. However, it doesnt say how it should differ.
