    Are pension and social security checks subject to civil judgments?
    If I lose a civil court case, are my IRAs and pension and social security checks awarded to the winner?

    Nothing is "awarded" to the winner. The winner gets a judgment for a specific amount. The winner then has to collect. They can do so by finding assets of the loser and ask the court to issue a writ of execution to attach the asset,

    IRAs would be subject to attachment, some social security payments are, some not.

    And pensions would depend on, for one thing, who makes the pension payments. Government agencies: probably not.

    Pensions are also often exempt from execution by state law.
