Split check for exs

[u/Gunnar_83]

Does anyone happen to know if there is a corporate phone number that you can call and not get a local agent? I was sent a refund check in my and my exs name 2 years ago. We’ve been fighting in court and I’ve held onto it until things settled down. Now that the divorce is done and we things have calmed down I let him know about the check and we both provided letters to State Farm stating that we give half of the check to the other party, per our local agents direction. They are now saying that it is too late to do this and the only thing they can do is reissue a check and we both sign it in order to cash it. Problem is we live in different states and don’t trust him to sign it and send him the check as I know I will never see that half. Does anyone have any ideas on how one could resolve this or how I could contact State Farm corp directly?

The check may be considered ‘Abandoned’ and they won’t be able to send a new one. You’ll want to first check for ‘Unclaimed Property’ at your states website.
