Bankruptcy Exemption in Nebraska

Nebraska’s bankruptcy exemption for a single item of wearing apparel is limited to $2 in value. This rule is found in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-15,105, which specifies the exemption amount for clothing. The statute sets out the precise dollar limit, and no other wearing apparel exemption exists under Nebraska law. The worked example below illustrates how this fixed amount applies in a typical bankruptcy scenario. For a debtor’s specific situation, the exemption calculation depends on the total value of clothing claimed, and the official source at nebraskalegislature.gov provides the exact statutory language. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate how this exemption affects your case.
