Federal law mandates that individuals who file for bankruptcy are not discriminated against. An individual that has filed for bankruptcy is a part of a protected class that encompasses all of his/her rights as an American. Filing for bankruptcy does not bar an individual from receiving or applying for Social Security Disability benefits or any other federal non-credit based aide.
There are many myths about the results of bankruptcy that keep hard-working individuals from receiving the financial relief they truly need. It is important to discuss your thoughts and fears with experienced bankruptcy counsel to separate truth from fact.
