National Guard and Reservists Debt Relief Act of 2008: On October 20, 2008, the President signed the National Guard and Reservists Debt Relief Act of 2008.
This act is effective on December 19, 2008. As a result of this act, all bankruptcy software programs should
be updated to enable attorneys to select this exclusion. Official Form 22A (Statement of Current Monthly
Income and Means Test Calculation) has been amended and will be effective on December 19, 2008.
Attorneys should ensure that their software programs are updated and that they file the new Official
Form 22A beginning on December 19, 2008. There are also 2 new events in CM/ECF found in the Other category
under Bankruptcy: Statement of Debtor's Temporary Exclusion from Means Test and Release from Active Duty.
Both events are text only entries which means that the filer will not attach a pdf document.
