The bankruptcy provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) sunset on March 27, 2022. As such, General Order 20-0008 titled “Chapter 13 Procedure Changes Resulting from CARES Act” and Amended General Order 21-0003 titled “Supplement to ‘Presumed Reasonable’ Fee in CARES Act Plan Extension Cases” have expired.
Amended General Order 21-0003 authorized debtor’s counsel to request fees beyond the “presumed reasonable” fee set by General Order 14-0005 (the “Supplemental Fee”). While Amended General Order 21-0003 has expired, debtor’s counsel may continue to seek the “Supplemental Fee” per the terms of Amended General Order 21-0003 for those cases in which a plan was confirmed prior to March 27, 2021 and a request for modification pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1329(d) was filed by March 27, 2022.
