I have had my auto, home owners and life insurance thru Farmers since 1998.
what if you don’t remember the exact time frame or have record of your old policy number as requested on the claim form? I had both home and auto with farmers at that time.
ADMIN – Hi J,
I encourage you to contact Farmers. They keep records.
We have been with Farmers Home Owners insurance since we purchased our home in Southlake in Sept. 1994.
We had Farmers for our auto and home. The rates kept going higher and higher and the only explanation is that everyone’s insurance is going up, so pay.
sir I have check that I cannot cash the control number is 0019358521 the check number is 607497 sir I need a replacement check please assist thank you.
ADMIN – Hi Bobby,
You need to reach out to the class action administrator directly. We cannot assist you with this request.
I have had my automobile insurance with Texas Farmers for the last 16 years. I just located this information as i was preparing to make a payment, I would appreciate being informed in reference to this situation!!!
ADMIN – Hi Don,
This is no longer relevant as the deadline to file has passed.
I got a check from farmers but the the check is past the 120 days stated on check. My relative had sat on mail and just rece ntly gave to me. I there any way i can get another check issue or is it to late? if can how?
ADMIN – Hi Chris,
I don’t think you can. Often settlements either have a secondary distribution for unclaimed funds or give the money away to charity.

My wife was part of that class action and received NOTHING. Reading over the postings, I think there was a bit of sca*ming went on, on how it was dished out.
ADMIN – Hi David,
Have you checked with the class action admin?
the phone number listed on the paperwork has been disconnected 1-888-222-0691 as of 11/4/18
ADMIN – Hi Cynthia,
That means the settlement has been distributed.
Dear Sir, I recently received a letter in regards to the Settlement a couple of days ago. I’m unsure of what to do at this point. If I’m entitled to the settlement payment I would like to be compensated and not credited to Famers Texas auto premium billing account.
Hi, Hannah. Thanks for your message. However, since we are only a newspaper of class action settlements, we have no direct connection to the cases we report about. As soon as we hear of open settlements, we post the news here; what happens to the settlement after that, we no longer post about. It’s up to our subscribers to follow up directly with their respective claims/settlement administrators and/or check directly on the settlement website (always linked above) for updates. Hope you eventually got in touch with the settlement admin.
I have a check from the settlement that has not been cashed. It is dated 4/20/2016. My husband died in 2018, check was found in his files uncashed. May I get it reissued?
Thank you
Hi Carla,
Condolences on your husband’s passing. As for your query, I’m afraid you’ll have to contact the Claims Administrator directly for that info. We are only a class action newspaper, not the settlement administrator of this lawsuit. Please see the “Contact” details above. Best of luck.
Can this settlement still payout if we just found some paperwork from December 6, 2011.
Hi, Karen. As a rule, if anyone misses the claims deadline, they can no longer file a claim for that particular settlement. As a last resort, however, we recommend that eligible claimants check the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (“NAUPA”) website via www.unclaimed.org for updates on when late claimants can claim their funds — unless the Settlement Administrator already disbursed any unclaimed portion of the fund via charity donations. Please try to contact the Settlement Administrator directly, if needed. The details are provided above; just scroll up. Thank you, and best of luck.
