WHAT IS A STRUCTURED SETTLEMENT?

You have weathered the ordeal of an injury or death in your family. This has been a stressful time, and you probably have worried about financial matters, both present as well as future. Structured settlements were designed to make a difference in the lives of people like yourself, by providing you with a light at the end of the tunnel. You have a new opportunity to regain financial control of your life.

Before structured settlements, many claimants risked losing a portion, or all, of their settlement proceeds to volatile investments, or to taxes and management fees that eroded their good investments.

As a result, in 1979 the IRS created a special tax incentive, which Congress made law in 1982, to allow claimants like you to receive tax-free, periodic income (a structured settlement). For the last two decades, millions of claimants have enjoyed peace of mind and financial security through a structured settlement.

A structured settlement gives you the chance to create a positive result from a painful event by providing you with guaranteed, tax-free income – when you need it.

You can have any portion of your settlement placed in a structured settlement, but the plan must be set up before you receive your money, and before you sign the papers to resolve your claim. With the help of an SFA structured settlement consultant, you can design a strategy for periodic payments that will be written into the agreements that conclude your settlement.

A structured settlement has the benefits of: 1) tax-free income, 2) maximum security, and 3) flexibility in setting up your periodic payments.
