Which New York licensed life insurance companies write structured settlement annuities in New York City boroughs of Bronx, Brooklyn (Kings), Queens, Staten Island (Richmond) and New York (Manhattan), and suburbs in Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Orange, Putnam and Rockland Counties today?  

These companies issue structured settlement annuities to help fund New York City area settlements for personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, aviation, auto accident and workers compensation settlements and to fund Structured Medicare Set Asides in 2024.

1. Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Home Office: New York, NY
2. Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company Home Office : Wilmington, DE
3. New York Life Insurance Company Home Office: New York, NY
4. Pacific Life and Annuity Company Home Office : Newport Beach, CA
5. The Prudential Insurance Company of America Home Office: Newark, NJ

Settlements in the surrounding counties in the New York City Tri-State area, such as Fairfield County, CT and Bergen County NJ, would substitute  Pacific Life Insurance Company and American General Life Insurance Company for numbers 1 and  6 respectively. Furthermore, there are multiple insurance companies such as United of Omaha, USAA Life Insurance Company, and Independent Life Insurance Company, that issue structured settlement annuities elsewhere, but do not write policies in New York state. 

Please note that a limited number of insurance companies underwrite structured settlement annuities compared to the number issuing other types of annuities and insurance products.

Funding Structured Judgments Pursuant to NY CPLR Articles 50A or 50B

For New York cases that go to a structured judgment, pursuant to NY CPLR Article 50A or Article 50B, only three of the above structured settlement annuity issuers will write annuities to fund New York structured judgments:

1. Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
2. Pacific Life and Annuity Company
   
3. United States Life Insurance Company in The City of New York

The onerous acceleration provision for late payments in CPLR Articles 50A and 50B is the primary reason for why only three carriers write structured judgment annuities in New York state.  Under CLPR Section 5044, if a structured judgment debtor "fails for any reason to make a payment in a timely fashion according to the terms of" Article 50B, upon the judgment creditor's petition, an order may be granted accelerating all of the periodic payments without conversion to present value.

Periodic Payment Reinsurance is available through National Indemnity Company (Berkshire Hathaway) and United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York
