Protect Your Settlement

Structured settlements offer numerous benefits for the annuitant. With a guaranteed source of long-term income, tax-free or tax-preferred advantages, and protection from financial market volatility, structured settlements can help establish financial stability and help you manage your funds.^1,2

Sometimes, annuitants may be approached to sell future payments in exchange for immediate cash. This is referred to as factoring. However, before making decisions that can impact your structured settlement, it’s important to gather more information first.

What is Factoring?

Factoring is a process where the annuitant sells the rights to some or all of their future annuity payments for immediate cash from a third-party company. These third-party companies are usually known as factoring companies. 

Factoring companies make their profits by paying you significantly less than the value of your payments and then selling your payment rights to investors for much more than they paid you.
