Yes.  There is no time limit for filing a Chapter 13 case after a Chapter 7.  In order to receive a discharge in the Chapter 13, it must be filed at least 4 years after the prior Chapter 7 case was filed. See my article for a summary of the required time periods for discharge in bankruptcy cases after a prior filing.
