Not necessarily. Chapter 7 eligibility is determined by two things. If you earn less than the state's median income you are automatically eligible to file for Chapter 7. If you earn more, your eligibility will be determined by the means test. The means test is a formula that determines how much money you have left over after paying debt. This test is essential for most individuals looking to file for Chapter 7.
