Hello - The US radio show Marketplace (widely distributed) wants to talk to people who signed and received settlements with private disability insurance companies in 2018. The new tax law is making these settlements less attractive by now taxing the associated attorney's fees. (I found out the hard way.) The reporter is Marielle Segarra, msegarra@marketplace.org. Email her with something about 'disability settlement' in the subject line. She interviewed me and my accountant yesterday. Not sure when the show will run the segment.

Hey viggster,
That is tricky.. Settlements are covered by an NDA, it’s often not possible to discuss the details or even in some cases the existence of them. Is she taking anonymous stories?
