# Structured Settlement Compare

> 13 transfer-law requirements quoted word for word from 5 US statutes, each with the page it is on and the date it was read, plus 12 recorded absences naming what a page does not say.

## Key facts

- Every cell is a verbatim quotation from a federal or state statute, or a recorded absence; nothing is paraphrased and no discount rate or fee appears that the cited page does not carry.
- 13 of 25 questions across 5 jurisdictions are answered by a quotation; the other 12 are recorded absences naming the page that was read.
- This is not legal or financial advice: no page recommends selling anything, and the site states no rule in its own voice.
- Every transfer of structured settlement payment rights needs a court order in advance, and 26 U.S.C. 5891 puts a 40 percent excise on the factoring discount where there is none.

- Methodology: Every cell is one sentence from the statute itself - the federal Internal Revenue Code section or the state's own Structured Settlement Protection Act - quoted verbatim with the URL and the date the page was read, or a recorded absence naming the page that was checked. Each quote is proven mechanically: the reduced text of every source page is committed to this repository, and each quote must be a byte-exact substring of it. Nothing here is this site's summary of a rule, and no discount rate, fee or figure appears that the cited page does not carry.
