In short
Form 101A covers the first 30 days after filing. Form 101B is about what happens after that.
It’s a second certification: that within those 30 days, the tenant paid the landlord the entire amount owed under the eviction judgment.
Who files it
Only a debtor who filed Form 101A, served it on the landlord, and wants the stay to keep applying to the eviction past the first 30 days.
What it asks
Certification About Applicable Law and Payment of Eviction Judgment
Two statements made under penalty of perjury: that state law gives you the right to stay by paying the entire overdue amount, and that within 30 days after filing the petition you paid the landlord everything the judgment says you owe.
When it’s filed
Within 30 days after the petition is filed. A copy is served on the landlord in the same period.

The official form
Official Form 101B is one page long and is used in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases. This guide describes the 12/15 revision, the date printed beside the form’s title. The federal courts publish the form and replace it when it changes, so their page always has the current one.
BK Prepare’s questionnaire builds the list of forms for a case from your answers, and includes this one when it applies.
