Can I Be Fired for Filing Bankruptcy?

Federal law prohibits employers from firing an employee for filing bankruptcy.  However, there are a growing number of appeals courts that have ruled that private employers may refuse to hire someone who has filed bankruptcy.  The Bankruptcy Code prohibits governmental employers from discriminating against employees, or prospective employees, who have filed bankruptcy.
