Will my automatic discharge be affected

I recently got laid off and want to file for bankruptcy soon. Since I do not have any surplus income, I should qualify for automatic discharge after 9 months. I am called back to work say after 3 or 4 months and have surplus income. Will it affect my automatic discharge?

This depends on how much surplus you have and whether or not you pay it. But it could potentially impact that discharge if the change in income is substantial. This is always a risk with a bankruptcy as your payment / surplus fluctuates based on your income during the bankruptcy.
