State Farm refunds cut Nebraskans premiums
State Farm will refund about 5.2 percent of last premiums to Nebraska policyholders on 249 000 auto policies with a total Nebraska refund of roughly 820 000 dollars. The refunds, up to 30 dollars for some urban young drivers, will be credited to next premiums or issued as checks if policies are not renewed. The nationwide 45 million dollar refund comes after windfall profits in early 1977 driven by rate hikes and lower claim counts. Nebraska officials defended rate increases but acknowledged refunds follow the changes.
