SECTION 341 MEETING OF CREDITORS VIA ZOOM


Pursuant to its authority under 11 U.S.C. 341(a) and 343, Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 2003, and other authorities, the U.S. Trustee Program has implemented virtual section 341 meetings of creditors for all chapter 7, 12 and 13 cases. For all cases filed after September 1, 2023, and until further notice, the 341(a) Meeting of Creditors will be held by video conference, which will be conducted via Zoom.


Please go to Join Meeting | Zoom, Enter Meeting ID 405 739 1327, and Passcode 0319210579 OR call (947) 214-5410.


All participants will need an electronic device (computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone) with a microphone, camera, and internet access to participate in the Zoom 341 meeting. Instructions on how to connect to a Zoom 341 meeting, including how to download the Zoom application, how to test and connect to a Zoom meeting, and troubleshooting tips, can be found at https://www.justice.gov/ust/moc.


When prompted to enter a name, all participants should enter their first and last name, so each participant may be identified properly during the meeting. Participants should join the 341 meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time. Participants should mute their microphones until their case is called.


While the debtor is sworn in and testifying, the debtor should be alone, unless the debtor is appearing from the same location with their attorney, or a co-debtor; the debtor should have readily available a copy of the filed schedules and statement of financial affairs, and any other documents previously requested by and provided to the trustee; and the debtor should not communicate with any person regarding the subject of their testimony, by electronic means or otherwise.


The Trustee will make an audio recording of the 341 meeting which will constitute the official recording of the 341 meeting. All other recordings, including video or audio recordings of the 341 meeting, are prohibited. No one is permitted to photograph the debtor or any other person attending the virtual 341 meeting.


Both the debtor and the debtor’s attorney (if the debtor is represented) are expected to appear at the virtual 341 meeting by video.  Non-debtor/debtor attorney participants who have no video access or who have trouble connecting by video may join the 341 meeting by audio-only without seeking approval by the trustee.


Prior to the 341 meeting all debtors must submit to the Trustee: (1) a copy of their original government-issued photo Identification (ID) and (2) confirmation of their Social Security number (SSN) or Individual Tax Identification number (ITIN) at least seven (7) days prior to the scheduled 341 meeting of creditors. 


The Trustee will not accept personal identifiable information during the meeting. Failure to provide copies of driver’s licenses and social security cards will result in the case being adjourned to a later date.
