State Farm is sending refund checks to customers. Here's who qualifies.
More than 7.2 million checks have been mailed so far, with millions more expected to go out this week, according to State Farm.
State Farm is currently sending out refund checks to millions of customers following the company's announcement of the largest dividend in its history earlier this year. As of July 31, over 7.2 million checks have been mailed, with an additional 3.8 million expected to be sent this week, according to Steve Baldwin, a State Farm spokesperson. The payments make up a $5 billion dividend, distributed to policyholders of 49 million vehicles. Here's what you need to know about eligibility and the process.
Am I eligible for a refund? State Farm customers who had an auto insurance policy active between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025, are eligible for a refund. Customers with a valid email address on file with State Farm will receive an email from donotreply@e.sfdividend.com containing instructions on how to access a payment portal to choose between digital payment (Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal) or receiving a check in the mail. Those without an email address on file will automatically receive a check in the mail.
How much will I receive? On average, the refund amount is $100 per vehicle. However, the exact amount depends on a percentage of the premium paid for each qualifying policy in 2025. These percentages vary by state, ranging from 4% to 10%, as per State Farm.
When will I get my check? Payments are being distributed in waves by state, with the process expected to take several months to complete due to the scale of the distribution, as stated by Steve Baldwin.
