Priority debts are unsecured debts that are given special status in by the Bankruptcy Code, such as recent tax debts and child support.
In a Chapter 7 case, priority debts are paid before any money is distributed to nonpriority unsecured creditors.
Priority debts cannot be discharged in bankruptcy, but not all nondischargeable debts are priority debts.
