You should check with your c 13 trustee. In general you can make a partial payment, but if the next payment is also a partial payment, or if you do not make up the difference, the trustee will file a motion to dismiss your case.

If you will not be able to continue the c. 13 payments as set forth in the plan, you may be able to end your c. 13 early or convert to a c 7. Consult your bankruptcy lawyer.
