How does the term "Structured Settlement" differ from the term "Periodic Payments"?

Legislative Intent | Statutory Requirements | Informational Resources

The term Structured Settlement usually means an arrangement established by a suit or agreement for the periodic payment of damages excludable from the gross income of the recipient under section 104(a)(2), or; an agreement for the periodic payment of compensation under any workers' compensation act that is excludable from the gross income of the recipient under section 104(a)(1).

The term Periodic Payments usually refers to payments that are of the character described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of section 130(c)(2), and payable by a person who is a party to the suit or agreement or to the workers' compensation claim or by a person who has assumed the liability for such periodic payments under a qualified assignment in accordance with section 130.
