Correction

Is it LEGAL for a company to deny your employment because you filed bankruptcy?

 

[JETX]

"Is it LEGAL for a company to deny your employment because you filed bankruptcy?"
*** No. 11 USC 525:
"(b) No private employer may terminate the employment of, or discriminate with respect to employment against, an individual who is or has been a debtor under this title, a debtor or bankrupt under the Bankruptcy Act, or an individual associated with such debtor or bankrupt, solely because such debtor or bankrupt -
(1) is or has been a debtor under this title or a debtor or bankrupt under the Bankruptcy Act;
(2) has been insolvent before the commencement of a case under this title or during the case but before the grant or denial of a discharge; or
(3) has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in a case under this title or that was discharged under the Bankruptcy Act."

But the real issue would be.... Can you PROVE that the denial was based solely on the issue of bankruptcy?
