Notice to the Bar and Public Concerning Official Form Revisions Effective December 1, 2015
UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY
NOTICE TO THE BAR AND PUBLIC CONCERNING
OFFICIAL FORM REVISIONS EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 2015
Most Official Bankruptcy Forms are scheduled to be replaced with substantially revised, reformatted and renumbered versions effective December 1, 2015. These new forms are part of a forms modernization project that began in 2008 by the Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules. Among other things, the new forms introduce different versions of case opening forms for individual debtors and non-individual debtors. The new forms are easier for debtors to understand and complete, and are designed to work with scheduled enhancements to the federal courts case opening and electronic case management system. Virtually all the director's bankruptcy forms are also scheduled to be replaced by updated and renumbered versions on December 1, 2015. A Forms Number Conversion Chart is attached.
More information concerning the revisions, including the proposed forms, is available at:

Please note the following forms are currently Local Forms, but will become national Director's Forms on December 1, 2015
- Notice of Final Cure Payment (Director's Form 4100N)
-
Response to Final Cure Payment (Director's Form 4100R)
Failure to file the most recently revised version of an Official Form will result in the court issuing a Notice of Missing Documents and Notice of Dismissal if Documents are not Timely Filed, and may result in dismissal of the case.
