Chapter 13 is the wage earners' reorganization chapter. It allows a wage earner (individual debtor) to propose a plan to pay his/her creditors in full or in part. Chapter 13 differs from Chapter 11 in that a plan is proposed at the beginning of the case and establishes a repayment structure over a three to five year period of time consisting of the Debtor's available income.

Under BAPCPA, the so-called "superpriority" discharge was all but eliminated from Chapter 13. Most of the debts that were traditionally non-dischargeable under Chapter 7 are now subject to being determined non-dischargeable in Chapter 13.
