I have a customer that is filing chapter 11 bankruptcy. They owe my company…

…a bit of money from 2 years ago. We are listed on the Certificate of Service. What % of debt owed is typically expected to be recovered in a chapter 11? I’m guessing it varies wildly from case to case?

Good luck. I'd write it off now, and anything you more than $0 is lagniappe.

It sucks that the government can mandate that businesses and people can get stiffed, but tax debt can't be bankrupted on. It seems very twisted.
It seems tyrannical.

Certain tax debt can be discharged, I've seen it happen.

That's not true at all. This is ch. 11, not 7. Typically we like to pay vendors, especially key ones, as we will need them and the company's reputation coming out of bankruptcy.
A bit odd its TWO years overdue though.

How much we talking about?
Bankruptcy laws suck in this country.

.15 cents on the dollar if you’re lucky, most likely zero.

Are you secured? UCC filing w the lien? If not you’re probably fricked.
If so, secured creditors get first priority. If there’s not enough assets to pay all secured, then typically distributed pro rata.

They have been in a forbearance with their bank for those 2 years. They offered to settle what they owed us at about 20%. I decided to gamble and decline that offer, hoping they might turn things around and pay us at least most of what they owe ($48k).

Hindsight is always 20/20 but you should have jumped all over that settlement offer.
