You need to report the money (and any subsequent payments) to your trustee. Most trustees will treat it as income that is subject to the surplus income rules – that means you’ll be able to keep a portion of the money.
If you don’t tell your trustee about the money yourself and they find out about it will cause some major problems in your bankruptcy, they very least of which is that you may have to apear in Court to explain why your bankruptcy should be allowed to continue.
Call your trustee.
