Here’s your regular nonsense-o-meter update: 

Supposedly, COVID-19 got cash now transaction laws changed so they can be done much faster and for an even higher payout nation-wide. We’ve gotten too many calls from too many people on this. We’re not sure who’s spreading this information but please understand that it is completely false. The pandemic has not made anything faster. If anything, it has made everything much slower.
 
This won’t come as a surprise to many of you who work with or in the courthouses around the country, but annuitants don’t know that, and telemarketers don’t care. The pandemic has tightened a lot of belts for people around the nation. Let’s make sure that even in these increasingly desperate times they don’t get suckered into doing transactions that aren’t good for them, and especially not with the latest brand of snake-oil salesmen. Let’s all weather the storm without being victimized by the hucksters.
 
We’ll be here if you or your clients need us. Stay safe and healthy out there.
