United States Fourth Circuit

The plain language of the Bankruptcy Code excludes Social Security income from the calculation of "projected disposable income," but such income nevertheless must be considered in the evaluation of a proposed Chapter 13 plan's feasibility. As such, the bankruptcy's court's denial of debtor's proposed plan on the grounds that it did not accurately reflect debtor's disposable income and that it was unfeasible if debtor's Social Security income was excluded from his "projected disposable income," is vacated and remanded.
