In order to claim an exemption, a debtor must provide a list of exempt property. Failure to timely list exemptions may result in a loss of the exemptions and would require the debtor to file a motion with the Court for permission to file the exemption list. Social Security should be listed as exempt property.
Note: Exemptions may also be lost by a debtor by incorrectly characterizing the property as exempt and receiving an objection from the trustee or a creditor, or from other actions of the debtor.
