Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Bankruptcy Minimum

Is there a minimum amount of debt required for bankruptcy? (I had heard $25,000 was the minimum in order to file.) Also, if I have just lost my job, does that help my case for filing bankruptcy with regards to the loss of "disposable income"?
