Unpaid Wages Bankruptcy Claim

Summary

In Missouri, employers must pay final wages by the next regular payday. If not paid, you can file a wage claim with the Missouri Department of Labor. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, unpaid wages are considered priority claims. You may file a claim with the bankruptcy court. If the bankruptcy court is in Texas, contact the U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Southern District of Texas. If the claim deadline has passed, you may still be able to file a late claim but consult with a bankruptcy attorney for guidance. Contact the State Bar of Texas for a referral.
