The answer is probably but state's and circuits vary.  You should contact your attorney to discuss of there are any issues.  It should be exempt property.  Regardless, it will trigger a taxable event.  You will pay taxes on the money and if you are in a Ch 13, you are likely under a tight budget already.  You shoul dhave an attorney so contact your attorney and ask what might happen froma bankruptcy standpoint.
