Do you get a discharge summary from a structured settlement?
🧠Structured settlements don’t have:
- admissions
- discharges
- treatment plans
- clinical supervision
- recovery phases
- relapse prevention
- after‑care protocols
🔥Structured settlements provide safety, security and guarantees
To people who want them or need them
It’s like a “job you can’t be fired from”. Even if you’re naughty you still receive your structured settlement payments.
With the exception of an occasional address, beneficiary or bank change, or to explain to your child that they have a structured settlement once they reach the age of majority, there is very little that you need to do with your structured settlement once it is set up up.
