Types of Claims

Farm Bureau’s insurance policies ensure you have all the basic coverages you need but understanding your claim is important. As a policyholder, you would file a claim to us to formally report a covered loss or event. Our claims team reviews the report and if approved, you may be compensated for that loss usually in the form of a check/s. 

Workers' Compensation Claims

For anyone who suffers work-related injuries or disabilities, Work Comp claims help to cover lost wages, medical expenses and rehabilitation benefits. Employers must report claims to the Workers’ Disability Compensation Agency.
