A structured settlement is "an arrangement for periodic payment of damages for personal injury established by settlement or judgment in resolution of a tort claim." Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-1101. In Maryland, a person or company seeking to acquire structured settlement payment rights, a "structured settlement transferee," must register with the Office of the Attorney General. See id. § 5-1107.
The Structured Settlement Transferee Unit recognizes that there currently are registered transferees with expiration dates during the state of emergency. For any registered transferee showing an expired registration, please note that pursuant to the Governor’s Order dated March 12, 2020, all licenses and registrations that have passed expiration or who are due to expire during the state of emergency are extended until 30 days after the state of emergency is terminated. For more information regarding this Order, please visit https://governor.maryland.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Licenses-Permits-Registration.pdf. Additionally, the Structured Settlement Transferee Unit continues to accept and process any initial and renewal applications for companies that are able to proceed.
