Telephone Interpreter Services at Section 341 Meetings

The United States Trustee Program offers, free of charge, telephonic interpreter services for persons with limited English proficiency at the mandatory section 341 meeting of creditors (11 U.S.C. § 341). Interpretation is available in approximately 250 meeting room locations across the country in as many as 196 languages. Individuals (or their counsel) may contact either the private trustee assigned to their case or the local office of the United States Trustee to determine if service is available in their area. To minimize delays at the section 341 meeting, individuals wishing to take advantage of this free service are encouraged to contact the private trustee in advance of the section 341 meeting.
