Canada Post announced a recent shutdown due to national labor actions between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.  Bankruptcy notice delivery has been impacted.  Beginning October 2, 2025, the Bankruptcy Noticing Center will not mail Bankruptcy Court notices to recipient addresses that include the country name “Canada.”  These notices will be bypassed. Bypassed recipients are listed within the bypass section of the Certificate of Notice.  Please visit the Bankruptcy Noticing Center’s site for more information and updates at https://bnc.uscourts.gov/.

Despite a partial government shutdown beginning October 1, 2025, the Federal Judiciary and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland are open during regular business hours and will continue normal operations until further notice by using court fee balances and other funds not dependent on a new appropriation.  The Case Management/Electronic Case Filing system (CM/ECF) remains in operation for electronic filing of documents.

The process for payment of Unclaimed Funds held by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland has been updated.  Effective October 1, 2025, subsequent to entry of an Order authorizing payment of Unclaimed Funds, payment will be made only upon receipt of an original, signed verification form sent from the Clerk’s Office to the Claimant.  Additional information on the updated Unclaimed Funds payment process is available in the Court’s Instructions for Filing Application for Payment of Unclaimed Funds.
