When surplus income is a factor in a bankruptcy and payments are to be made for 21 months; does this mean you are bankrupt for the 21 months or are you discharged after 9 months and continue making payments for the 21 months.

Yes. In order to be eligible for a discharge you must complete all of your duties, including payment obligations. So if 21 months is required your not discharged until after the full 21 months of payments are made.
