What the document says
“bankruptcy trustees receive no compensation at all for cases in which the filing fee is waived by the bankruptcy court.”
The third claim in the seventh finding. Congress states that where the bankruptcy court waives the filing fee, the trustee is paid nothing for the case.
What the document actually says
“bankruptcy trustees receive no compensation at all for cases in which the filing fee is waived by the bankruptcy court.”

Congress says some cases pay the worker nothing. Those are cases where the court waived the fee.
What this is about
A court can waive the fee for someone with no money. Trustee pay comes out of that fee. So there is nothing to pay them with.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
