Yes, your case can be reopened in order to take care of new matters that crop up after the case. For example, if you receive an inheritance, a life insurance payout, or a divorce settlement within 180 days after filing, your case might need to be reopened to administer those assets. You might want to reopen the case to obtain an order discharging a debt when a creditor keeps pursuing you. The trustee might seek to reopen the case if it becomes apparent that you lied on your petition, omitted or concealed property, and so forth.
