- Friday, December 19, is the effective date of the National Guard and Reservists Debt Relief Act of 2008. The Act, Pub.L. 110-438, provides a temporary exclusion from the bankruptcy means test for Reservists and members of the National Guard called to active duty or homeland defense activity after September 11, 2001, for at least 90 days (the Act amends 11 U.S.C. § 707(b)(2)(D)). The Judicial Conference of the United States has approved an amendment to Official Form 22A which includes a new Part 1C where qualifying debtors can invoke the temporary exclusion from the means test. The amended form will be effective on December 19, 2008, the same time as the statute
