A private student loan is not a conditional grant and therefore does fall within the meaning of section 523(a)(8)(A)(ii) which excepts from discharge an “educational benefit, scholarship, or stipend.” Homaidan v. Sallie Mae, Inc., No. 20-1981 (2d Cir. July 15, 2021).

The best interests test does not provide authority to compel turnover through plan modification of settlement funds from the debtor’s post-petition personal injury case where that money would not be available to unsecured creditors in a case converted from Chapter 13 to Chapter 7 under section 348(f). In re Taylor, No. 16-40873 (Bankr. D. Kans. July 21, 2021).

The bankruptcy court correctly dismissed the debtor’s Chapter 13 case after she missed her final two mortgage payments under her five-year plan, even though, shortly after the plan expired, she paid the arrears in full. In re Kinney, No. 20-1122 (10th Cir. July 23, 2021).
