Generally speaking, the answer is yes. 11.U.S.C. Section 522(d)(10)(E). Of course, you have to be prepared to assert the exemption at the proper time and you will have a problem is you mix exempt and non-exempt money in a single account. Consult with a bankruptcy lawyer or consumer lawyer about the best way to set up your pension payments to make sure you do not inadvertently waive your exemption.
