In Chapter 13 bankruptcy a pending status means the case is still open for evaluation and no decision has been made. The pending status may last for awhile depending on how involved the case is until it is final.

Could you change your chapter 7 to chapter 13 after being discharged?
Sometimes Chapter 13 debtors need or want to convert their bankruptcy case from a Chapter 13 to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. And sometimes the bankruptcy court will force you to convert from Chapter 13 to Chapter 7 - this is often called a "forced conversion." The reasons for conversions vary. For the most part, if you are instigating the conversion, you have a right to convert your case. But that doesn't always mean you'll qualify for Chapter 7 relief.
Will you get your tax refund if you file for bankruptcy?
Whether you are entitled to your tax refund will depend on what type of Chapter of bankruptcy you are filing and whether the bankruptcy exemptions can be used to protect the tax refund.

If you are in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy you are typically required to turn over the tax refunds during the life of the Chapter 13 case.

You can find out when you filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy by checking the public records at the bankruptcy court where your case was filed. You can also contact your bankruptcy attorney or the trustee assigned to your case for this information.
