State Farm Mails 7 Million Checks in $5 Billion Auto Dividend

3 articles · Updated · KCRA Sacramento · Aug 19

Summary

  • More than 7 million State Farm dividend checks have been mailed since July 31 as the insurer starts distributing its largest-ever $5 billion payout.
  • 49 million vehicles are covered by the program, with eligible policyholders receiving an average refund of about $100 per vehicle.
  • Customers must have held a policy from Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2025; those with an email on file are notified electronically, while others receive mailed checks.
  • The payments stem from stronger-than-expected 2025 underwriting performance, and State Farm says the distribution will continue for several months.
