No, you cannot be fired for filing bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a Constitutionally protected right. It does not matter if you are a public or private employee. Your employer cannot fire you simply for filing for bankruptcy.   This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information. Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.
