Each case is different. First the United States Trustee has been a Notice of Possible Dividends issued in the case to which you timely filed a proof of claim. Several months after the deadline to file claims has passed you may contact the Chapter 7 trustee and ask when the trustee anticipates making payments to the creditors. Remember that in more complex cases or cases involving litigation, there may be many months of delay before payments may be made to creditors. The Chapter 7 trustee's contact information is on the notice of the meeting of creditors.
