ERRATA SHEET The opinion of this Court, issued on March 26, 2019, is amended as follows: Replace the paragraph starting at page 21, line 1, and ending at page 22, line 7, with the following: Furthermore, contrary to the Insurers' contention, our construction does not render Section 922(d) superfluous. Before Congress adopted the 1988 Amendments there was ample reason to believe that Section 362(a) stayed a creditor from accepting voluntary payments from a debtor or stayed a creditor from applying debtor funds already in the creditor's possession (as security) to the debt. See, e.g., 6 Collier on Bankruptcy ¶ 362.03 ("[I]nnocent conduct such as the cashing of checks received from account debtors of accounts assigned as security may be a technical violation [of Section 362(a)(6)]."). Thus, Section 922(d) made clear that a creditor holding pledged special revenues as security may apply those revenues to outstanding debt, notwithstanding the automatic stay. -2-
