What we publish for Vermont

• State exemption system (opt-out vs federal election)

  This state allows a choice between the state list and the federal list. Which state's law is available is set by 11 U.S.C. § 522(b)(3)(A) from the filer's domicile before filing, not from where they live today.

• Exemptions — what state law lists

  12 verified categories, each quoted from the statute that states it.

• Means test median income

  Published medians for 10 household sizes. A comparison, not a decision.

• Which federal court hears your case

  One federal district covers the whole state. It publishes no county-by-county division assignment, so filing location is not fixed by county.

• Local court practice (341 format, plan form, no-look fee)

  Verified for 1 of 1 district.

  10 calculators run on this state's published figures.
