The means-testing provisions of the bankruptcy reform bill only apply to those who make above the state median income, adjusted for family size. For those interested in the list of state median incomes is listed here.
In the area where I live, for Virginia, the median income for a family of four is $69,616, in Maryland it is $82,879. New Mexico appears to be at the bottom at $46,596 (a few hundred behind Mississippi).
