With the new bankruptcy laws, when they refer to dates are they referring to discharge dates or filing dates?

For example, if you filed a chapter 13 in August, 2004 and your final payment was in August, 2009 and you lost your job and are unable to pay your debts and want to file Chapter 7 do you have to wait (based on the 6 year requirement) until 2015 (6 years from the END of the Chapter 13) or can you file in 2010 (6 years from the FILING of the Chapter 13).

For the purpose of your question, the discharge date is used.
