What is a structured settlement?

 

Structured settlements are a type of annuity that allows a claimant in a lawsuit to receive their settlement in a series of payments over time, instead of as a lump sum payment made up front. Structured settlement annuities are usually the result of a personal injury or wrongful death. These annuity payments are not subject to income taxes, and the claimant decides the payment schedule when the settlement is drafted.

 

One benefit of having a structured settlement is that you get long-term financial security in the form of a reliable stream of income. Even better, as the recipient of a structured settlement, you have the right to sell part or all of your overall payment stream in exchange for a lump sum—and that’s where JG Wentworth can help.

 

If you have a structured settlement annuity and need cash now, not later, then give us a call. We can help you get the money you need at the best price, guaranteed.*

How does selling my structured settlement work?

 

When you sell part or all of your structured settlement payment stream, you effectively transfer your payment rights to the purchasing entity in exchange for a lump sum payment. The process is straightforward for JG Wentworth customers, who receive assistance from our dedicated team of representatives. Here are the steps you’ll take:

    1

    Call JG Wentworth for a free evaluation and quote

    When you call us with an idea of how much cash you need, our representative determines your eligibility to sell and provides you with a quote.

    2

    Accept your quote and return your contract

Selling Structured Settlement FAQs

    Life always finds a way to surprise us—and sometimes, surprises can put an unexpected strain on our finances.

     

    If you’re struggling to pay for an emergency expense, you’re not alone. According to a 2022 Bankrate survey, only 44% of Americans can afford to pay for a $1,000 emergency with just their savings. For most Americans, the best option in an emergency is to take on debt to cover the expense. Even if you don’t have an emergency—maybe you want to go back to school or put down a payment on a house—it can be difficult to come up with the funds for an immediate need without incurring debt.

     

    But if you have a structured settlement, you have another option available!

     

    Selling part or all of your structured settlement payment stream is a great way to keep your head above water while avoiding taking on extra debt. If you need cash in a pinch to take care of a major expense, this could be the best solution.

    No, you do not need to sell your full structured settlement. You can sell just one or several future payments—it all depends on how much money you think you need. Many JG Wentworth clients are return customers, selling part of their settlement whenever they need cash.

    No, you don’t have to pay taxes when selling your structured settlement. Because the transfer of the rights to your untaxed settlement payments goes through a court, your lump sum payment will retain tax-free status.*

    Yes, JG Wentworth purchases life-contingent payments—in fact, we’re the largest purchaser of this type of structured settlement in the U.S.! We have an entire team that specializes in evaluating the sales eligibility of life-contingent payments. They can answer any questions you might have about what your options are and how this type of sale works.

      Yes, we purchase several types of annuities, including annuities intended for retirement, lottery winning payments, and structured attorney fees. If you’re unsure whether your annuity payment stream qualifies for sale, give us a call—we're here to help.

      A legal guardian can sell part or all of a structured settlement payment stream belonging to a minor under their care if they are able to demonstrate to a judge that the lump sum will be used to benefit the child and that the transaction is in the minor’s best interest.

      It’s important for sellers to do their research on any company that they’re considering selling their structured settlement payments to, including checking their credentials and reading customer reviews.

      If you’re considering selling your settlement payments to any business, make sure to ask their representative the following questions:

       

       

      - How many transfers have you done before?

      - How many transfers has your company funded in my state and county?

      - How quickly can I expect to receive my funds after court approval?

       

      In general, you’ll want to find a company with plenty of experience, because they've encountered every issue under the sun. Instead of selling to someone who has ten transactions a month in a small handful of places, look for a company responsible for hundreds of transactions in many different states and counties.

      Many litigation filings are a matter of public record, dependent on the rules of specific courts and jurisdictions. That means that any company or individual can access information about who has structured settlements in order to make an offer to purchase their payment stream. If you are approached by a company that you have never reached out to about selling your payments, exercise caution and do your research before making a move.

      How much is my structured settlement worth if I sell now?

       

      When you sell your structured settlement payments, the purchasing company will offer you a price based on the future value of your payments, factoring in the cost of inflation over time. The company will calculate an amount called the discount rate, based on a variety of factors, including the difference in value between current and future payments, and factor in that amount when determining the sale price.

       

      In other words, a structured settlement payment of $1,000 today will be worth less in a year due to inflation. So if you sell a payment that you’re supposed to receive next year, the purchasing company will buy that payment based on what it expects it to be worth in a year—not what it is worth today.
