+
+## Text
+
+(a) The provisions of a confirmed plan bind the debtor and any creditor, whether or not—
+
+(1) a proof of such creditor’s claim is filed or deemed filed under section 501 of this title;
+
+(2) such claim is allowed under section 502 of this title; or
+
+(3) such creditor has accepted the plan.
+
+(b) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, the debtor is discharged from all debts as of the time when—
+
+(1) the plan is confirmed;
+
+(2) the debtor deposits any consideration to be distributed under the plan with a disbursing agent appointed by the court; and
+
+(3) the court has determined—
+
+(A) that any security so deposited will constitute, after distribution, a valid legal obligation of the debtor; and
+
+(B) that any provision made to pay or secure payment of such obligation is valid.
+
+(c) The debtor is not discharged under subsection (b) of this section from any debt—
+
+(1) excepted from discharge by the plan or order confirming the plan; or
+
+(2) owed to an entity that, before confirmation of the plan, had neither notice nor actual knowledge of the case.

+## Notes

+Historical and Revision Notes
+
+senate report no. 95–989[Section 947] Subsection (a) [enacted as section 944(a)] makes the provisions of a confirmed plan binding on the debtor and creditors. It is derived from section 95(a) of chapter 9 [section 415(a) of former title 11]. Subsections (b) and (c) [enacted as section 944(b) and (c)] provide for the discharge of a municipality. The discharge is essentially the same as that granted under section 95(b) of the Bankruptcy Act [section 415(b) of former title 11].
