I strongly suspect that this is some kind of internal fuckup, not State Farm being insolvent.

As someone that works in corporate America that would take too much common sense to execute on, its likely incompetence.

I thought that the company that had the fire insurance in Cali wasn't State Farm proper. It is a spin off specifically for home insurance there. I could also be wildly wrong.

They aren't out of cash they simply gave their execs too many bonuses. I guarantee their deficit could be offset by reducing leadership pay to something more realistic.
