The way to get paid under the judgment that you have is for you to prepare a notice of levy, memorandum of garnishee, levying officer's instructions and other documents required by your state and serve such on the entity that owes the person that owes you money under the judgment that you have.
Typically the levying officer will serve the documents on the company that owes money to the judgment debtor so that you can be paid what is owed you. I suggest that you consult with an attorney that practices in the area of debt collection law to assist you or contact your local legal aid clinic to see if someone there can help you with your matter.
