The Chapter 13 Hardship Discharge
After confirmation of a plan, there are
limited circumstances under which the
debtor may request the court to grant a
"hardship discharge" even though the
debtor has failed to complete plan payments.
11 U.S.C. § 1328(b).
Generally,
such a discharge is available only to a
debtor whose failure to complete plan
payments is due to circumstances
beyond the debtor's control and
through no fault of the debtor, after
creditors have received at least as much
as they would have received in a chapter
7 liquidation case and when modification
of the plan is not possible. Injury
or illness that precludes employment
sufficient to fund even a modified plan
may serve as the basis for a hardship
discharge. The hardship discharge is
more limited than the discharge
described above and does not apply to
any debts that are nondischargeable in
a chapter 7 case. 11 U.S.C. § 523.
