During the course of your bankruptcy you’ll be given several notices to fully inform you of your rights and obligations. One of these notices is required under Section 342(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 342(b) reads:
Before the commencement of a case under this title by an individual whose debts are primarily consumer debts, the clerk shall give to such individual written notice containing—
(1) a brief description of—(A) chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13 and the general purpose, benefits, and costs of proceeding under each of those chapters; and(B) the types of services available from credit counseling agencies; and(2) statements specifying that—(A) a person who knowingly and fraudulently conceals assets or makes a false oath or statement under penalty of perjury in connection with a case under this title shall be subject to fine, imprisonment, or both; and(B) all information supplied by a debtor in connection with a case under this title is subject to examination by the Attorney General.
