Mandatory deductions are not “added back” when assessing whether or not you owe surplus income payments in a bankruptcy. Voluntary payments will be – so your pension plan deductionis allowed, unless you have asked to increase it beyond the mandatory minimum amounts.
Discuss this in detail with your trustee BEFORE you file – that way there won’t be any surprises.
