Administrative Claims May be Paid Over Time in a Subchapter V Small Business Bankruptcy Case

The Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019 (SBRA) became effective on the eve of the economic free fall stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Longleaf Law Partner’s bankruptcy law expert, Cindy G. Oliver, explains the new law in our 13-part series, Bankruptcy Buzz.

Part 12 of 13:

A sometimes insurmountable hurdle for Chapter 11 debtors is the requirement that the Chapter 11 administrative claims must be paid in full by the effective date of the plan, as a prerequisite to plan confirmation. This requirement can render a bankruptcy estate administratively insolvent, with an unconfirmable plan. Subchapter V allows small business debtors to pay their bankruptcy administrative claims over time through the plan. As a result, unsecured creditors may receive dividends sooner. This is another feature of the Small Business Reorganization Act (SBRA), designed to increase a small business debtor’s chances of attaining a confirmed plan of reorganization.
