Your question rightly presumes they can, normally, take the refund.

How you were going to spend it doesn't make any difference.

And in the method your suggesting, you would be taking a pre-petition asset (the amount set aside before bankruptcy - now available to be used to pay any of those debts), and applying it to a post petition liability. That is a no-no.

You should check with your c 13 trustee. In general you can make a partial payment, but if the next payment is also a partial payment, or if you do not make up the difference, the trustee will file a motion to dismiss your case. It is always a good idea to let the trustee's office know your next payment will be short and why, and when you expect to get caught up. If you will not be able to continue the c. 13 payments as set forth in the plan, you may be able to end your c. 13 early or convert to a c 7. Consult your bankruptcy lawyer.

Can you be my own trustee or my corporation?

Another asker who can't control his pronouns. Why would I want to be trustee of your corporation or of you? Corporations do not have trustees. If the corporation files for bankruptcy protection, you cannot be the trustee. Similarly, you cannot be your corporation. A corporation is a separate legal entity. You may be the only officer and shareholder, which can cause you some tax and liability problems, but you are not the corporation.
