Have questions about a State Farm dividend email?

State Farm Mutual has teamed up with Verita Global to manage the distribution of $5 billion through a one-time dividend, including customer communications and payments.

If you have questions about an email you received, contact my office or visit https://st8.fm/4j7nrqo for more information.
