Funds and benefits of retirement plan or IRA qualified under §§ 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 408, 408A or 409 of Internal Revenue Code (100% (support claims excepted))
Typical examples of property NOT exempt under Kansas exemptions laws:
tax refunds
cash and funds in bank accounts
stocks and bonds
boats, motorcycles, campers
business inventory
money owed to you, business accounts receivable
personal injury claims (except workers compensation claims)
If you moved to Kansas less than two years ago, you might not be allowed to claim Kansas exemptions in your bankruptcy case. It gets complicated to figure out whether you claim exemption for the state you formerly lived in or the federal exemptions.
