Retro pay/bonus AFTER discharge for Chapter 7
I filed in February and just had my 341 meeting today. I was told if all goes well to expect my discharge notice within 1-2 months. I am part of a union with work and we are currently in contract negotiations. We were just told of an expected ratification vote in May and none of us were expecting it that soon. I told my attorney about it when I initially consulted with them, but it seemed like months away at that time. If this contract passes we would be entitled to a percentage of retro pay for the past few years of working under an expired contract. This back pay would come to us as a “signing bonus” in September. My question is, if I receive my discharge notice before the contract vote takes place, would I be entitled to keep the signing bonus or would it be seized for my case?
