Duplicate payments are defined as: two or more payments made on the same insurance policy or State Farm Payment Plan (SFPP) account, for the same dollar amount, and processed on the same business day.
To minimize the impact to you, State Farm handles duplicate payments as follows:
- Only one payment is processed if multiple payments are made using the same bank account and submitted within 15 minutes of each other.
- Payments are processed if different bank accounts or credit cards are used for each payment.
- Payments are processed if one or more credit cards are used. If only one credit card is used and the payments are submitted on the same calendar day, you are contacted by email and given instructions on how to receive a refund if the duplicate payment was not intended.
