The Society of Settlement Planners (SSP) is a national nonprofit educational and public policy association of settlement planners who assist injured claimants in the settlement process.

SSP members include settlement planners, structured settlement specialists, attorneys, product providers and other professional associations. Members seek to elevate the profession of settlement planning by promoting ethical industry standards, providing education and certification and knowledge transfer among its members. Members strive to assist personal injury claimants by providing information to them, their attorneys, guardians, conservators, judges, other advisors, product providers and general public.

Settlement planning is a profession that focuses on helping claimants meet their financial goals. SSP members work with the injured party to create a comprehensive and integrated settlement plan focused on meeting the needs of the claimant. They also strive to preserve assets through coordination with other benefits such as Medicaid and Medicare and by prudent estate planning.
