About State Farm

State Farm Life Insurance Company has been part of the State Farm group since it issued its first policy in April 1929. The group is based at One State Farm Plaza in Bloomington, Illinois. Most State Farm customers know the brand from auto or home insurance. Life policies are sold through the same network of local agents, and the agent locator lets you filter by the languages an agent speaks.

State Farm Life Insurance Company is not licensed in Massachusetts, New York or Wisconsin. In New York and Wisconsin, policies are issued by a sister company, State Farm Life and Accident Assurance Company. If you live in one of those states, that is the name you will see on your contract.

Life claims have a dedicated phone number, 1-877-292-0398, and can also be reported online. Mailed claim documents go to a Life Claims P.O. box in Bloomington. According to State Farm, its life claims office reaches out to the beneficiary within one to two business days after receiving a claim. For general questions, the main customer line is 1-800-782-8332, or you can contact your local agent directly.

State Farm offers term, whole, universal and variable universal life, plus annuities. The company describes all of its life policies as participating, though it does not expect term and universal life policies to pay dividends.
