Quick answer
Prefiling credit counseling and postfiling debtor education are separate requirements, with limited exceptions.
Do now
Use DOJ’s approved-provider information for the appropriate district and course type. Confirm timing, certificate delivery, fees, and any waiver options. Keep completion records and ask who files the certificate.
Watch for
A budgeting course from an unapproved provider may not satisfy the requirement. Missing education or filing requirements can affect discharge even when other case work is finished.
