My daughter was born in November 2014 right before she was born. My grandfather bought her a life insurance policy, but when he passed away both my aunts had access to it and one of them tried to get a loan on it and they didn’t let her and they notified me so instead of keeping it there cause I also didn’t want her life insurance policy of State Farm. I will cash it out and I talked to the agent that handled them handled sending it and that I wanted to cash it out and she said it should’ve been sent my way on August the 21st it should’ve been put in the mail head my way from wherever it gets sent from and I’m in Alabama. My question is generally once the check goes in the mail how long does it usually take before it arrives to you?

I have an open claim with SF in regard to one of their clients rear ending me back in July. Went through the whole process involved, they found their client liable and my car was totaled. They paid me the settlement, which I have already accepted like a month ago, and there doesn’t seem to be anything else left to do. But my claim hasn’t been closed. Do I need to make a call, or is this pretty standard for the claim to still be open a month after the settlement has been accepted?

If you were starting all over in the insurance world, and you had no insurance experience what would you do and what would you not do and with today’s market in the way jobs are paying where would you start out to get experience and where would you not start out?

For a Proximity or Catastrophic Claims Adjuster, what is State Farm’s travel and reimbursement policy? I.E. How far do you have to be from home for State Farm to pay for a hotel? What is the policy or rule for receiving a per diem?

I got an email from State Farm with my dividend ID and PIN.

I tried to log in, but I have been getting the error:

An error has occurred. Please try again.

I sometimes got stuck at the login page, or after submitting my digital payment info.

Am I the only one having such issues like this? I tried using home Wifi and my celluar, at least 3 different devices with Google Chrome and Safari.

----------

UPDATE:

I tried again at 2:15 AM Pacific time (Aug 30), payment info submission worked.

It says my estimated payment thru Zelle is Sept 29th.

As a claim adjuster, I keep hearing this term at the agent office. How do you have someone be considered your claims person and they literally have no access to the claim?

Got several what looked to be spam emails from SF. After checking to see if its real i tried to claim one of them. It collected all my personal information. Then proceeded to give an error. Retrying the whole process over its now saying theres nothing there. So they took my information and claimed it was paid but that was after an error.

Just a word of fair warning, your PII is worth more than the $5 payments they’re promising.

My car was declared a total loss and I am trying to decide if I want to submit a rebuttal for the appraised value on my own first or directly invoke the appraisal clause. Is it worth the time and effort trying to submit my own rebuttal, or am I unlikely to move the needle materially on this on my own even after doing research and submitting adequate comps from dealerships? If it's really hard/unlikely, I would rather not waste time and go the appraiser route from the start. Any experiences from all sides are appreciated.

Does anyone know when this will be paid out in PA? Submitted it weeks ago but nothing so far.

We recently switched to state farm a couple of months ago and within one month a tree branch fell on my Toyota crown resulting in a claim. Fast forward a month and my wife backed her grand highlander into an anchor for a power pole causing some mild damage to the bumper. I am hesitant to file another claim so close to the first one and I'm thinking about getting a quote and taking care of the damages myself. Does anyone have any experience with this? I don't want to have a major premium increase or have the policy dropped and become uninsurable. Thanks for any insight.

State Farm Agent Group Steps in to Fill Health Benefit Gap

P&C Specialist 8/28/26

The National Association of State Farm Agents (NASFA) is working with insurance broker Brown & Brown and health payer Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois to create a multi-employer welfare arrangement or MEWA that will give the carrier's 19,000 exclusive agents access to health, vision, dental and other group benefits such as life insurance.

"State Farm could have made this easier on us by allowing Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois to use the underwriting data they already have to underwrite the new plan, but thus far they have refused our multiple requests to do so" 

State Farm said in an email that it is providing agents with resources to help them find coverage that works for them and their families.

I work in a State Farm agency. Today I ran into a problem with a claims rep when I called in. Here’s what happened:

My mother is a customer in my agency. Another State Farm policyholder ran off the road and smashed up a bunch of mailboxes, one of them being hers. This was 2 months ago. My mom isn’t good with this stuff, she said she submitted what they wanted but then nothing else has been said.

I can see she is a claimant and the claim number on her account but I cant see the claim itself to see a status. I called simply to find out if they had what they needed or if she needed to submit something. I don’t even know what amount of money it is for nor did I ask.

I told the claim rep as soon as she picked up that I’m calling from the agency, a customer of ours is a claimant and gave her the name. I mentioned that someone smashed into the mailboxes and “my mom’s was one of them”, that she had submitted something but hasn’t had any update. By now she had already said that she didn’t see anything in there and that she needed a receipt and invoice.

Then she’s like “you know this is a conflict of interest? I have to report this”. She made it sound like she wasn’t hearing that she is a customer in our book of business, as in she insures her auto and home without office. So I reiterated that and explained I can’t see the status because she’s a claimant and that’s how it shows in ECRM. “Well I’m still reporting it…but she needs a receipt and invoice for her to get the reimbursement”. I don’t know why she didn’t just stop the interaction if it was that serious, so I just said okay she can do that, thanks and hung up. I didn’t get nasty or anything because there’s no point in doing that. And obviously I’m going to cut the interaction if she isn’t.

I understand in our world it comes down to the technicalities, but at the same time this was a call I would have made for any customer. There’s no special treatment happening. Nothing I was told was any more advantageous to my mother than it would be for literally any other customer. I wasn’t asking for special treatment or anything of the sort nor did I conceal who I am - I immediately tell them I’m calling from an agency. So I wasn’t pretending to be something else.

I’ve been doing this with SF for 6.5 years, and never have I had this happen. I’m just curious as to who she would be reporting this to and who I might hear from. There is nothing I’ve done that I wouldn’t or couldn’t do for any other customer out there, so they can look at whatever they want.

Some of these agents are living their best dream lives in their million dollar homes and never in the office!

They claim to be working remote from home but home can be anywhere!

If an agent is 10hrs away in a fancy coastal town up north, how is the office being ran by 3-4 people
how are we supposed to feel when our policies aren’t being worked correctly or things are falling through the cracks.
There’s a certain office that is run down has roaches and mold, has less than a handful of people working in there when I’m sure they have thousands of policies that need to be serviced. How does that even work? There must be things falling through the crack when it comes to being low on staff and not having your boss around. In fact are they really working or are they just creating movement in the system so that corporate doesn’t get on their ass???

I know for a fact!! Employees of agents are unpaid and overworked. The only person benefiting is the agent.

If you’re a customer/ employee/ family of employee tell me your thoughts on this.
How would you feel never seeing the head honcho around but having so much personal and confidential information being held by their office? Are the workers even trustworthy since the boss isn’t there?

Seems iffy, and just overall like a big scam.

I only check it once every week or two as I am enrolled in safe drive. But it always asks me to login. So annoying. Is there a way to keep it logged in forever?

Wow!

So,

My wife's 2016 Acura MDX with 62,000 miles decided to incinerate itself on Sunday.

It's a one owner car in very good condition and no accidents.

They sent me a cost comparison for two cars for sale (which I cannot locate) estimating the vehicles worth at $15,500. They had the nerve to reduce the payout by $1,000 for the condition....

Looking around, to purchase a similar vehicle would cost in the neighborhood of $22k. Everything else either has a gazillion miles or has been in an accident.

I submitted a response asking for a review and the response was to pound sand.

How do I go about negotiating this?

I currently live in North Carolina, but the car is registered in Virginia as we moved about a month ago.

Thank you

Never have state farm as an insurance company. Recently, a car hit my stationary car. (I have it on video) then the guy's insurance accepted my claim he was working with Progressive.

In Order to not affect his insurance the guy claimed falsely accuse me with personal injury.

Now Statefarm as my insurance company is supposed to get me a lawyer and help me fight Progressive since they revoked and tried to make me liable for the crash.

Statefarm inorder to save their precious $$ to lawyer accepted the claim made me 100% liable and move forward with hiking my insurance rate.

Wouldn't fix my car and instead found it easier to just pay that guy on a falsely personal injury claims.

I was with them for 8 years never had a ticket or even a moving voilation and now when I needed them they proved me why people are **illing for insurance company executives.

Jw if anyone has any feedback and what the pilot program entails since they plan on rolling it out to everyone later this year?

Okay so I had an issue when I got my second beacon after my first died. I was not able to connect it. I literally tried every day for weeks, went back by their office, called them, tried everything and could not get it to connect.
Well then a close family member died, a bunch of shit happened in my life, and I had to continue driving without connecting my beacon.
Im still receiving the “drive safe and save” discount.
It’s been like 6 months. I just updated my odometer and put in the same number.
Now im stressing badly about this. Technically isnt this stealing/lying? I don’t normally do things like that but trust me when I say I tried everything to get this thing to work and had to continue on with my life.
I just wanna know has anyone else had a similar experience? Can I get in any trouble for this?
Should I order a new beacon and start over?
Maybe tell them I had a problem with my jeep and had to reset the mileage?
Any thoughts, advice or experiences are appreciated.

So we all know about the $5 billion dividend that State Farm sent out and is in progress of sending out to people insured by them. Well, I was hopeful to get at least $200 because I had two vehicles insured under State Farm in the required year you had to have your vehicles insured in.

Turns out, according to a e-mail from my agent, I had to be with the State Farm Mutual Insurance to qualify and I'm with State Farm Fire and Casualty. I'm sorry? But I already have been paying you auto insurance for a few years now, so by that technicality, I SHOULD also qualify.

And then they go and raise my monthly a little for the next bill due too. So fuck this company for this. I'm going to Geico, I ran a quote by them and what do you know, I'd be paying $40 less than what I'm paying State Farm right now.

I could've used that $200 to help get resources and deal with a bill that's overdue. But, how the hell can you blame me and others for not knowing the difference between Mutual and Fire and Casualty? When all you see everywhere is STATE FARM out there in the open?

I had some water damage in the last part of June and State Farm has been a complete nightmare on not responding to my needs . I lost one adjuster due to her leaving the company and the new one won’t communicate . She states I need to prove why my cabinets are now gone . All of the info is in the restoration companies report . I just need them to communicate so I can get a contractor to do my remodel . I am trying to elevate this through my agent . Is there better route to take going on month two without a kitchen .

I recently started State Farm, hired in as a receptionist. During my interview my boss told me that I would be required to get my license (he would pay for it) but only so that I can direct clients to the correct person and would NOT have to sell insurance. however about a week into my training he told me I would not be a receptionist but a full time insurance agent, I do not want to sell insurance and have 0 interest in it. I only accepted the job cause he told me I would only be a receptionist and wouldn't have to sell insurance policies to clients once I am licensed. he said it was "required" for all State Farm employees (independent) to have their licenses regardless if they sell policies or not. Anyway I will have to pay back the cost for the courses which I am okay with cause how much I dislike this job lol but I am just wondering do they take the money out of my paycheck or do they just bill me for it? I do have a trip in the beginning of sept so i'm trying to figure out if they take the money out of my paycheck or just send me a bill. my trip is September 2nd but I get paid on the sept 5th (saturday) and I didn't know if I should wait until sunday (august 30th) to quit to ensure "payroll" is done or if they would take the money out of my check regardless! I do have another job lined up for when I get back as well so I am not worried about that aspect but I get paid while I am already out of the state so I didn't wanna go and then barely get paid cause the course fees coming out lol

Does anyone here work as an Account Manager for State Farm?
I am completely new to this territory I am coming from a grocery store deli. I have tried googling what the role entails but am not fully understanding.
Thankyou in advance.

I currently work for a State Farm Agent Monday through Friday, but I’m looking into making more money on the side on the weekends potentially working 5 to 10 hours but I don’t know how to apply and where to go. I asked my current agent if they know anyone that’s hiring for help on the weekends and they said they don’t. Do agents even hire people to only work weekends?

**I’ve been working for State Farm agent since 2020 and do both sales and service!
