MD structured settlement bonds.
$1,000 flat.

Maryland does not let a company buy structured settlement payment rights without first registering with the Attorney General, and registration comes with a filing: a $100,000 bond in favour of the State under Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-1109, or a matching letter of credit or cash deposit. The bond is $1,000 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — and the credit consent in the application authorizes a soft pull only.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A structured settlement transferee is the company that buys future settlement payments from an injured person at a discount. Maryland governs those transactions under the Structured Settlement Protection Act, Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article Title 5, Subtitle 11, and layers a registration regime on top of the court approval each individual transfer already needs: under § 5-1107, a person may not file a petition to transfer structured settlement payment rights unless registered with the Attorney General as a transferee, or holding a pending application.

Section 5-1109 is the financial-responsibility half of that registration. On accepting registration the transferee files a bond executed by an authorised surety insurer in the penal sum of $100,000, in favour of the State — or, if it prefers to tie up capital, an irrevocable $100,000 letter of credit or a $100,000 cash deposit with the Office of the Attorney General.

The bond stays in force until the surety is released by the Attorney General or cancels on at least 30 days’ written notice, and a transferee that does not promptly replace a cancelled bond can have its registration denied, suspended, or revoked. It is not insurance for the transferee — if the surety pays, the transferee repays the surety. Registration is renewed with the Office of the Attorney General on the cycle it sets, with a renewal application and fee; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-1109Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article § 5-1107 provides that a person may not file a petition for a transfer of structured settlement payment rights under the subtitle unless the person is registered with the Attorney General as a structured settlement transferee or has a pending application for registration. Section 5-1109 sets the security: on acceptance of a registration the transferee files a bond executed by an authorised surety insurer in the penal sum of $100,000 running in favour of the State, an irrevocable letter of credit for $100,000 from a financial institution, or a $100,000 cash deposit with the Office of the Attorney General. The bond remains in force until the surety insurer is released by the Attorney General or cancels it, and a surety may cancel on at least 30 days’ written notice to the Attorney General; if the transferee does not promptly file a replacement, the Attorney General may deny, suspend, or revoke the registration. The Office of the Attorney General publishes the registration and renewal forms, currently including an Information Form for Control Affiliates and a Legal Proceedings Form, and charges a registration fee. Confirm your renewal date, the current fee, and the accepted bond form with the structured settlement transferee administrator at the Office of the Attorney General.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Maryland structured settlement transferee bond?The premium is $1,000 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every registered transferee. The $100,000 penal sum is fixed by Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-1109, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $100,000?No. You pay $1,000. The $100,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money. The statute's cash-deposit option is the one that ties up $100,000; the bond is the one that does not.
How fast will I have the bond?This bond is checkout-priced, so it issues the moment you pay. Your e-signed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Office of the Attorney General.
Is there a credit check?The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond, and the price stays $1,000 flat either way.
Does the bond replace court approval of a transfer?No. Registration and the bond are the gate on who may petition at all; each individual transfer of structured settlement payment rights still goes to a court under the Structured Settlement Protection Act. The bond keeps your registration in good standing so those petitions can be filed.
