You should have received from your attorney a complete copy of the structured settlement agreement. It would include all the details you seem to be seeking. If you don't have it, ask for it. You might also ask for a copy of the Surrogate Court decree authorizing the settlement. Good luck. Best, M. E. Zuller

Write a letter to your lawyer with a copy to the insurance company. I would also contact the company for the structured settlement, they should also have the information.
