<h1>State Fund Board of Directors Declare $37 Million Policyholder Dividend</h1>
<h3 align="left">February 20, 2015</h3>
<br><p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA — <a href="http://statefundca.com/">State Fund Compensation Insurance Fund</a>’s Board of Directors has approved a $37 million dividend to qualifying policyholders for the 2014 policy year. The dividend represents approximately 2.6 percent of policyholders’ 2014 estimated annual premium. </p>
<p>“In addition to declaring a $37 million dividend, we strengthened our reserve position to improve State Fund’s financial strength for the long term, thanks to strong investment returns,” said Vern Steiner, President & CEO.</p>
<p>In order to be eligible for the 2014 policy year dividend, policyholders must:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Have completed no less than 335 days of continuous coverage during their 2014 policy term.</li>
<li>Have not cancelled during their 2014 policy term.</li>
<li>Have complied with the State Fund audit and as a result the final audit was completed within 18 months of the 2014 policy inception. No dividend shall be paid on any premium owed or paid as a result of an audit.</li>
<li>Be current on 2014 premium payments.</li>
</ul>
<p>Payments for a dividend will be based on the inception dates of policies. </p>
<p>This action brings total dividends declared by State Fund since 2011 to $287 million. </p>
