Archive - Removed 121120 State Farm Response to COVID-19 Coronavirus

En Español

We know this is a difficult time and we continue to look for ways to support our customers. In early April, State Farm announced a $2 billion dividend. On average, State Farm auto customers received a credit of about 25% of premium for the period of March 20 through May 31st. The exact percentages varied state. Customers who pay monthly as part of our State Farm Payment Plan (SFPP) saw the credit applied to their July bill. Customers not enrolled in the State Farm Payment Plan (SFPP) should see the credit applied at their next renewal. Additional information related to the dividend is available on our customer FAQ website.

In May, State Farm announced we're working to reduce auto rates in every state. The total amount of the rate cuts is about $2.2 billion, with a national average of 11%. Rate cuts will vary by state and customers will see the rate reduction on their next renewal. As driving behaviors continue to evolve, we'll monitor and respond accordingly. Combined with the dividend, this totals approximately $4.2 billion in savings for our auto customers. 

In many states, customers can also experience additional savings by participating in Drive Safe & Save™, which includes a participation discount and allows drivers personal influence over additional savings based on driving behaviors. Customers are encouraged to visit with their State Farm agent about individual policies, coverage and any opportunities for discounts.

We are also working to reduce business owner premiums across the country. The rate changes will average 7% and provide savings to more than 400,000 commercial policy customers, resulting in $54 million total savings.

We are committed to the health and safety of our customers, employees and agents, and the communities where we live and work. We have adjusted our face-to-face protocols, and are offering virtual claim inspection options in most states if legally permitted.

Continuous innovation and adaptation have positioned State Farm as the insurance industry leader. The pandemic remains a rapidly changing situation and the decisions we are making balance health concerns with our obligation to continue to serve you.

 

Based on current trends, State Farm is working to reduce auto rates in every state.

 

The national average for those rate reductions is 11%, saving customers a total of approximately $2.2 billion

 

These rate cuts are in addition to the $2 billion dividend credit, flexible customer payment options and philanthropic relief included in our Good Neighbor Relief Program. Together, auto customers should see about $4.2 billion in savings.
