If I do not have any earned income does 1099-c amount of debt cancellation in bankruptcy require me to file a return?

I have no earned income and can be claimed as a dependent.  I received a 1099-C for discharge in bankruptcy in an amount that would exceed the minimum amount of unearned income to require me to file a tax return. Is this considered unearned income requiring me to file a federal tax return?
