Can I Be Discriminated Against For Filing Bankruptcy?

Can I be denied employment because I filed bankruptcy?

No. 11 U.S.C. sec. 525 prohibits governmental units and private employers from discriminating against you because you filed a bankruptcy petition or because you failed to pay a dischargeable debt.
