Would you kindly explain further. Do you mean old age security pension payments or some other kind of pension payments and why would they be sold ?

If your user name implies anything, it seems to be 'cpa' certified public accountant. Wouldn't a cpa normally know this information.

There are companies that will provide lump sum payments from a structured payout. However, this is generally from a fixed term payment, not a retirement benefit which is more open ended. You would have to contact one of these firms.

Note, that generally they pay a fraction of the total worth of the annuity.
