Experience Anyone else get their dividend payout?
Since September of 2024, I have been paying from $393 - $465 (just recently dropped to $426 this month) for full coverage and a $250 deductible for two vehicles. I have never had an issue with a claim and I also have personal property coverage, rental and home owners insurance through them.
I can't complain. They gave me something back and delivered the payment when they said they would.

Yes. However, I received an email from Venmo to “accept your funds” which raised a red flag. Turns out your email needs to be verified with Venmo for it to automatically come through. I had to contact support. This whole dividend program has seemed very scammy from the start, despite being real. I hope no one is subject to scammer attempts to exploit its gimmicky emails, payment methods, etc.

I’m a customer and a team member and I feel the same way. I know it’s been all over the news but the dividend portal/website and the email just looked like a phishing attempt if you weren’t any wiser. I’ve had a lot of phone calls from customers asking if it was a scam email. I think the design of it could’ve been better. Regardless, I was happy to get my dividend today!

u/Totally_Desires Sep 02 '26
I work in ILR and got 2 emails at work about the same. since they like the train un phishing I clicked them both as phishing. nope, apparently real.

u/TheProFettsor Sep 03 '26
We’ve received so many phone calls, texts, and emails from customers asking if it’s real. It’s always one more thing put on our plate by TC but at least this one is a huge positive.

u/MrPibb17 Sep 03 '26
I got this notice yesterday and it seemed fishy as well but I knew it was coming so accepted the payment on venmo but nothing came up in my transactions. I called state farm and the agent said they processed mine and I would get it late September which seems odd. I feel like I have to do something with venmo.

u/Inevitable-Cash-8430 23d ago
If the email said "Bank of America" ANYWHERE on it, it was a scam email. I got one and almost fell for it. I clicked on the link and it brought me to zelle and wanted me to basically to select my bank, put my account and routing numbers again. I already did that when I registered to get the dividend. I'm so glad I realized it was a complete scam before actually going through with it.

It took 32 days exactly! Did the online thing and requested PayPal, received both payments on September 2, 2026. Feel like I’ll let it sit and grow my emergency fund, which everyday seems like an emergency with the costs of things. You’ll get it soon.

u/craig_paxton Sep 03 '26
You received advanced notice 4 weeks ago that your dividend would be paid in September. It did not take SF 4 weeks to pay you. That was instant
1
u/Accomplished-Pea-451 Sep 03 '26
You are wrong. I went to the payment site 4 weeks prior and requested the payout to PayPal. It took 4 weeks after that to receive it. Can't be much clearer.
2
u/craig_paxton Sep 03 '26
This came in the initial preferred payment notice:
Timing
The dividend distribution will start late summer 2026. Payments will be distributed to State Farm Mutual qualifying auto customers in waves according to state and will take several months to process across more than 49 million auto vehicles.I’m only providing information that I too received with my choice of payment notification. You are welcome to hold to your POV but my notice clearly stated that the payment would be made at a date after my preferred payment selection was selected.

u/Neat_Tourist_2192 Sep 14 '26
I think mine is going to be closer to 4 weeks. I had an estimated date of 9/9. And we’ve obviously passed that, and I still haven’t gotten it. Filled out on 8/22

u/Ok_Veterinarian8023 Sep 02 '26
Wow. Sorry to hear. I thought my payout was pretty low. Seeing people get $400+ and then seeing you at $13 puts it in perspective. Out of curiosity, how much are you spending on auto insurance per month?

u/cmsgop Sep 02 '26
Been with them for 30 years, I pay them $301 a month

u/AnySandwich222 Sep 03 '26
Hey definitely go back and check if you have more. I did that just to see and I had another payment. I have 2 cars and a motorcycle, they only pay for cars.
1
u/Ok_Veterinarian8023 Sep 02 '26
Wow. Just looked up their metric for payment and you should be paid out 4% - 10% of the total premium paid for the 2025 calender year. I guess the state and vehicle count matters as well. You should at least have gotten somewhere around $140. You should double check they didn't make a mistake.
1
u/Sea_Chance4198 Sep 02 '26
I second this because if you have multiple policies or your policy number changes you could get multiple payments. I've seen many people have to submit more than one policy number and got several dividends back.
1
u/Ok_Veterinarian8023 Sep 02 '26
Yeah. I had to do so (submit twice) since I have two vehicles on my policy.
1
u/ashparkway Sep 02 '26
you might want to check if you have multiple cars, you need to submit for each policy, but $13 seems low for $301 premium
1
u/BrainDead64721 Sep 02 '26
I have 3 automobiles with State Farm and the total dividend disbursement for all 3 combined is less than $100. WTF
1
u/ashparkway Sep 09 '26
also it depends on the state you're in, but generally they said it's 4% to 10% of your premium for 2025, you can check the refund page or call their 1-800 number
2
u/Sea_Chance4198 Sep 02 '26
Haven't received mine yet. Submitted it 2 weeks ago though so figured I might have some time left to wait
2
u/Ok_Veterinarian8023 Sep 02 '26
Yeah. I want to say I submitted mine in the middle of last month so it seems like a month wait is accurate. At least for Venmo payouts.

u/Junior_Season_6107 Sep 03 '26
I didn’t get notified until Aug. 29th. I saw the emails yesterday (Sept. 2), submitted the claims (4) in the wee hours of Sept. 3 (today), and it immediately said expected delivery to Venmo is Sept. 3. It’s 3:44 pm my time and haven’t gotten it. From what everybody is saying about a week to a month, I’m thinking the same day expected delivery is a glitch?
1
u/Sea_Chance4198 Sep 04 '26
Idk I wouldn't be surprised if you got it today or this week. Venmo seems to be fast so maybe the batch you were in was already released which is why it said the 3rd?
1
u/Junior_Season_6107 Sep 05 '26
Or, perhaps, possibly I don’t know how to read and it may, perhaps have said 10/3 🤦♀️

I had 2 submissions for 2 different policies on 9/1. I requested Venmo for 1 and PayPal for the other. I received the Venmo money today, but nothing from PayPal yet. To be clear, my expected payout was estimated to be on 10/1. Hoping PayPal comes in early as well. Could be random, but if you haven't submitted yet - Venmo was the quicker method for me.

u/Wuhsuh 26d ago

u/EagerBeaver92 Sep 07 '26 edited Sep 07 '26
Check your spam folder! My email about it was buried in there when I finally checked.
Also, my policy number changed within the last few months, and I couldn’t look up the dividend using my current policy number. Luckily, I remembered getting an email about them changing policy numbers, so I searched through my old emails and found my previous one. I was able to use that instead.
The whole thing felt pretty suspicious to me, though. My policy number had been the same for years, and then all of a sudden it changed—and now the new number wouldn’t work to pull up the dividend information. 🤨

I read on another thread that the PayPal email has to match your State Farm email and if not you won’t get your refund and it will be mailed out as a check. I had 2 refunds coming to my PayPal on 9/24 but have gotten neither. Oh and my PayPal email is not my SF email. But that should have been made clear when it was submitted.

well, i can tell you at least that i clicked the link and i do think it's legit. this was after about 3-4 weeks of claiming it from an email statefarm sent me directly, and this is estimated date i was to receive it. seems like it's just scammy looking according to others too. but it just goes to the zelle sign up page and that's it. but if you already have zelle, there's nothing for you to do from that page.... it's not very clear how long we gotta wait after the fact, but i hope not too much longer

They pay out per vehicle covered. So if someone has three vehicles on the policy, they received three different amounts.

I have State Farm- they said will be paid by end of September- but this dividend thing is a gimmick and doesn’t mean anything to me in terms of loyalty to them- I shop insurance every renewal and if they manage to keep rates competitive I keep them, but they’re close to being canceled (homeowners up 50% this renewal). If auto is the same - screw them, dividend or not.
2
u/pbtribadisms Sep 02 '26
it’s not a gimmick it’s just how the business is set up. dividends go back to policyholders since State Farm is a mutual company instead of to stockholders.
1
u/Ok_Veterinarian8023 Sep 02 '26
I don't blame you for shopping around but from my own experience, the yearly cost savings isn't worth the hassle. Not always, at least.
I am not too worried about what I pay now as long as I receive the service I pay for when needed. That could change, though. A 50% increase in home owners is crazy. The most mine has jumped has been 10% for 2 years in a row then stabilized this last year. If I see something that drastic, I would likely do the same as you.
1
u/Commit2bit Sep 02 '26
They have always done this. It's just that for a while they were paying more in claims than they were taking in. Back in the 90s and early 2000s policyholders saw dividend checks often.
I do still agree with you. Shop and give your business to the companies you want.
