I live in Canada, but have never heard of anyone being released from the Army due to winning a lotery or receiving any inheritance. What happens in your private life is no on else's business. There are people in the Army that come from very wealthy families. Don't know where you heard this, but it's rediculous.

Its happened before.

They don't automatically throw you out, no. I have heard--don't know if it's true or not--that it's possible to buy out your contract if you win the lottery.

I don't know...I think if I was still in and I won the lottery, the second thing I'd do (the FIRST thing I'd do is to stop by my security office and report the fact because suddenly having a lot of money gets you investigated if they don't know where it came from) would be to buy a Rolls-Royce and use it to get to work.

b- This situation falls ,technically, under a 'hardship" separation. You would advise your commander and under a large financial windfall the US Military COULD allow you to exit your contract. There are several factors that go into that process. You are not automatically removed from your duties by simply 'coming" into a large amount of assets. This does not mean you are automatically removed from your duties in fact you CAN stay in the service and complete your contract. However, if you were put through school by the military, you would be liable for repaying the military branch in entirety for the cost of your education if you separated under the financial "hardship" clause.

Can you EARN large sum of money shortly after bankruptcy is discharged?

Bankruptcies are not discharged. The debts are discharged. If you knew going in to the bankruptcy that you would be earning a large sum of money, that information should have been entered on Schedule I at the bottom and if it was NOT disclosed, you might find yourself in federal prison for perjury and fraud. Your discharge would be revoked. If you did not know you would be earning a large sum and could not have found out before filing, no problem. If it is a lottery winning or an inheritance, rather than wages, you have to disclose it to the trustee and the court.


How long after receiving a discharge do you have to not report a windfall of income such as winning the lottery or a large inheritance?

180 days from the date of the discharge. I believe it is 180 days from filing rather than from discharge. If you filed a chapter 7 and received the inheritance or the right to the inheritance within 180 days of filing, then the money should come into the bankruptcy estate. If you already received your discharge, then the trustee may move to reopen your case and bring a proceeding to get the money. However, Trustees, sometimes, try to bring money into the bankruptcy estate that they don't have the legal right to. Lottery proceeds based on a lottery ticket purchased after you filed bankruptcy are not part of the estate, but trustees have been known to go after the money anyway.
