What is the standard rule for posting fees to the correct case file?

• A. Post to the most recently opened case.
• B. Post to the case file referenced by the case number, verify docket and party details, and ensure the fee type aligns with the fee schedule.
• C. Post to any open case.
• D. Post to the debtor's account only.

Answer: (B)

Posting fees correctly hinges on tying each charge to the exact case it was meant for. Begin by posting to the case file referenced by the case number, then verify the docket entries and the parties involved to confirm you’re in the right file. Finally, ensure the fee type matches the official fee schedule so the charge is categorized correctly and auditable. This approach keeps financial records precise, supports audits, and ensures the fee appears in the correct case history. Posting to a different or open case, or to a debtor’s account alone, risks misallocating the charge and creates confusion in the docket and ledgers.
