Independent Life Announces New
Non-Qualified Structured Settlement Offering
April 17, 2019 - One of the newer life companies to enter the structured settlement marketplace, Independent Life, announced this week they will now accept structured settlements on nonphysical injury cases utilizing a non-qualified assignment.

This is excellent news for anyone involved in nonphysical injury litigation.
Only recently established (2017), Independent Life is unique among our life company partners in that they were conceptualized by industry veterans as a single purpose life market offering structured settlements exclusively.

With insufficient history to secure reviews from many of the independent rating agencies we normally rely on for our longer tenured life markets (A.M. Best, Standard & Poor's, etc.), Independent Life has earned high marks from Egan-Jones (A) and Kroll Bond Rating Agency (A-), two Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSRO) validated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Once A.M. Best and other rating agencies eventually weigh in, we'll be sure to update you on the results.

Independent Life joins MetLife as the only life insurance companies offering non-qualified options for nonphysical injury claims at this time. We recently featured MetLife's latest video "What Are the Rules and Requirements for a Non-Qualified Assignment?" on our firm blog site, The Finn Blog.

In addition to these two life markets, we also offer non-qualified structured settlements funded with United States Treasuries through Midwest Trust.
