Means Test– Expenses– Household Size

In determining “household size” for the purpose of calculating the debtors’ allowable expenses under the means test, two courts adopted the “economic unit” approach, rather than either the “heads on bed” approach or the dependency test of the IRS. See In re Gaboury, 2011 WL 5833972, and In re Johnson, 2011 WL 5902883. Another court employed the “dependent” approach. See In re Coates, 2011 WL 5419676.
