Cite Our Research

Why Cite CSF

Catalina Structured Funding maintains several original data resources that are not available elsewhere in a single, verified source. Our tables and guides are built from primary legal sources (state statutes, IRS publications, court records) and verified through professional legal research tools.

Four licensed attorneys review our content for accuracy, and we maintain an internal corrections registry to track every verified claim. You can read more about our verification process on our editorial standards page.

Citable Data Resources

The following CSF pages contain original data compilations that may be useful in your research, reporting, or legal analysis:

50-State Structured Settlement Protection Act (SSPA) Tables

Our structured settlement state pages cover 49 states plus the District of Columbia (Maryland excluded, as CSF is not registered to do business there for structured settlement transfers). Each page includes the state's SSPA statute citation, independent professional adviser (IPA) requirements, court approval process, and typical transfer timelines. All statute citations are verified against current state law.

50-State Lottery Tax Rate Table

Our lottery calculator and jackpot tracker include a complete table of state tax rates applied to lottery winnings across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Rates are sourced from each state's department of revenue and updated annually.

Small Estate Threshold Table

Our small estate affidavit guide includes a multi-state table of small estate thresholds, showing the dollar limit at which estates can bypass formal probate using a simplified affidavit process. Thresholds are sourced from each state's probate code.

Structured Settlement Companies Comparison

Our companies comparison page provides a factual, side-by-side comparison of major structured settlement purchasing companies, including years in business, BBB ratings, and service scope. This is a reference page, not an advertisement.

Life Contingent Valuation Guide

Our life contingent payments page is one of the only public resources dedicated to explaining how life contingent structured settlement payments are valued, including the role of measuring lives, SSA actuarial tables, partial sale structures, and the difference between life contingent and period certain payments.

Lifetime Lottery Prize Transfer Guide

Our lifetime lottery prizes page includes a 37-state table showing which states permit or prohibit the voluntary assignment of lifetime lottery prizes (Cash4Life, Lucky for Life, Millionaire for Life). Each entry includes the applicable statute citation, verified through a comprehensive legal research survey.
