Prudential Rated Ages Are Good For 12 Months
Life contingent structured settlement payments are cheaper if you have a rated age. It can also be said that each settlement dollar going to pay for lifetime medical needs goes a longer way with a rated age.
What is a rated age?
A rated age
is an opinion from a life insurance company underwriter that is used to price life contingent structured settlement annuities, or structured settlement annuities where at least part of the payments are life contingent.
Rated ages are useful in pricing out the cost of a life care plan for a plaintiff with catastrophic injuries. In New York, rated ages help give a realistic cost projections when analyzing damages under CPLR Articles 50A or 50B. Rated ages can be helpful in determining the cost of funding the future portion of a Medicare Set Aside arrangement.
Some structured settlement annuity issuers already extend rated ages for 12 months while others only allow 6 months. The latter requires resubmitting medicals every 6 months. Extending the time frame is a better solution that removes the “squeaky wheel” in one of the moving parts in the structured settlement process.
The Prudential Insurance Company of America, part of Prudential Financial, is one of the oldest life insurers in the United States, established in 1875, in Newark NJ. It is the largest life insurance company in the United States in terms of assets (2021).
