A claim arising after the date of the filing of the petition, generally required to be the actual and necessary costs of preserving the estate. Usually includes claims incurred by a Chapter 11 debtor in possession to its trade creditors. May also arise for the value of goods delivered to the debtor within 20 days of debtor filing for bankruptcy. (Bernstein's Dictionary of Bankruptcy Terminology)
Any claim determined to have arisen prior to the date of filing of the petition. (Bernstein's Dictionary of Bankruptcy Terminology)

Where a claim is secured by a lien, the code limits that secured claim to the value of the property less any higher priority liens. Since the priority of payment of a secured claim is higher than unsecured claims, this determination can be very important to both the debtor and its creditors. The determination of secured status can occur at various times in the proceedings.
A first mortgage where the property is worth more than the balance due on the mortgage is a fully secured claim. (Bernstein's Dictionary of Bankruptcy Terminology)
