If you are in or about to file for bankruptcy and an insurance policy makes a pay out to you, this is an asset that must be disclosed to the trustee and will be used to provide a small distribution to the creditors.
Failure to disclose this type of a windfall is a bankruptcy offense and will likely result in the refusual of a discharge.
