It is more streamlined, less complicated, and less expensive than chapter 11 (bankruptcy filling for large corporate reorganization).
Chapter 12 has allowance for situations in which family farmers or fishermen have income that is seasonal in nature.

eligible for chapter 7 bankruptcy filling, you must meet the below criteria:
- You must pass the median income test:
You calculated average income must not more than the median income for your state (You can find the median income by state information from www .usdoj.gov/ust; click the Mean Testing Information).
- If you failed the median income test, you second chance for
chapter 7 filling is on mean test:
Mean test is calculated based on your disposable income. To get your disposable income, calculate your average monthly income as describe in above paragraph. From that amount, subtract your allowed expenses (stated in IRS) and monthly payments you will have to make on secured and priority debts. If your monthly disposable income after subtracting these amounts is less than $100, you pass the means test, and will be allowed to file for Chapter 7.
Bankruptcy - Chapter 13
You will be forced to file your bankruptcy under chapter 13 if you are not eligible for chapter 7. Or if you have file bankruptcy before under chapter 7, then you need to go for chapter 13 for second bankruptcy filling.
Chapter 13, which has also been known as a wage earner's plan, is an interest-free repayment plan where a debtor repays at least some of his or her unsecured debts with regular payments over five years.
In chapter 7 filling, debtors need to liquidate their assets to pay to their creditors (creditors will share the amount from the liquidation); whereas, the debtor generally can continue to live in his or her home so long as the debtor complies with the terms of the Chapter 13 arrangement. This is one of the advantages of chapter 13 over chapter 7 bankruptcy filling.
