Yes, most retirement accounts are protected when you file for bankruptcy in New Jersey. Federal law shields employer-sponsored plans like 401(k)s and pensions with no dollar limit. Traditional and Roth Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are protected up to $1,711,975 in the aggregate under current federal bankruptcy rules for cases filed on or after April 1, 2025, while SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, and qualifying rollover amounts are treated differently under the Code. However, the type of account you have, the exemptions you choose, and the timing of your filing can all affect how much protection you receive.
