(b) Notice of Refund or Disbursement of Funds on Hand.

The Notice shall indicate the amount of funds the chapter 13 trustee has on hand and the source of those funds, if known.
(2) If the source of the funds on hand is post-petition wages, post-petition income, or other sources other than non-exempt funds or property, the trustee may pay the refund to the debtor without filing the Notice.
