For purposes of the means test, the U.S. Bankruptcy Code defines current monthly income as including: «any amount paid by any entity other than the
debtor (or in a
joint case the
debtor and the
debtor's spouse), on a regular basis for the household expenses of the
debtor or the
debtor's dependents (and in a
joint case the
debtor's spouse if
not otherwise a dependent)...» Benefits received under the Social Security Act, payments to victims of war crimes or crimes against humanity on account of their status as victims of such crimes, and payments to victims of international terrorism or domestic terrorism on account of their status as victims of such terrorism are excluded from the means test.
