Welcome to the Whitman v. State Farm Life Insurance Company website.

A State Farm Form 94030 policy owner, William T. Whitman, sued State Farm over cost of insurance charges deducted from policy owners’ account values.

The Court has allowed the lawsuit to proceed as a class action on behalf of all current and former Washington 94030 policy owners whose policies were in-force on or after January 1, 2002 and who were subject to at least one monthly deduction, subject to certain exclusions.

The Court has not decided whether State Farm did anything wrong. There is no money available now and no certainty there will be. However, your legal rights are affected, and you have a choice to make now.

  • DO NOTHING: Stay in this lawsuit. Await the outcome. Give up certain rights. By doing nothing, you keep the possibility of getting money or benefits that may come from a trial or a settlement in this case. But you give up any right to sue State Farm separately on any claim that is or could have been included in this lawsuit.
  • EXCLUDE YOURSELF: Get out of this lawsuit. Get no benefits from it. Keep your rights. If you ask to be excluded from the lawsuit and money or benefits are later awarded, you won’t share in those, but you keep any right to sue State Farm separately on the claims in this lawsuit.
