Adjustment of Certain Dollar Amounts Applicable to Bankruptcy Cases Effective April 1, 2025

Friday, March 7, 2025

Automatic adjustments to the dollar amounts in certain provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and one provision of Title 28 of the United States Code will go into effect on April 1, 2025, for cases filed on or after that date. 11 U.S.C. § 104 provides the Judicial Conference with the authority to make the adjustments, which are calculated at three-year intervals on the basis of the change in the Consumer Price Index for the most recent three-year period ending immediately before the year in which the adjustment is made and rounded to the nearest $25. The Conference has delegated that authority to the Administrative Office.

The revised dollar amounts and affected Code sections were published in the Federal Register, Vol. 90, No. 22, on February 4, 2025.  Seven Official Bankruptcy Forms and two Director’s Forms also contain references to several of the affected dollar amounts. The revised forms, available here, will be effective on April 1, 2025, and will apply to cases filed on or after that date.
