Frequently asked questions about structured settlements

Your policy number has not changed. However, some welcome letters included an incorrect prefix listed in front of the policy number. The correct prefix to use when you call in is NP3 instead of NC3. Please update your welcome letter, if incorrect, to show this prefix in front of your current policy number. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience.

You may provide Protective Life with updated information by writing a letter with the updated details (e.g.: address or name). Please be sure to include your policy number, last four digits of your social security number, and include your signature in the letter. You may send the letter in any of the following ways:

  • Scan or take a picture of the letter and email to structuredsettlements@protective.com
