You can use `bitcoin-cli getbalance "*" [n]` to see if a confirmed balance is 'n' blocks deep.
_What is block depth?_ After a block is built and confirmed, another block is built on top of it, and another ... Because this is a stochastic process, there's some chance for reversal when a block is still new.
