State Farm to Issue $136M in Dividends to Louisiana Drivers

State Farm will issue dividends to Louisiana drivers totaling $136 million following stronger than expected underwriting performances nationally.

State Farm, which writes approximately 30% of the personal auto insurance market in Louisiana, will send the dividend to policyholders this summer, according to an announcement from the Louisiana Department of Insurance.

Drivers who had a State Farm Mutual Private Passenger Auto Voluntary Preferred policy in force as of Dec. 31, 2025, will receive an average payment of $138 per vehicle.

Louisiana private passenger auto premiums declined by an average of -5.8% in 2025,
