Notice to UC Staff and Retirees:
Due to major shifts in California’s insurance market, the University of California and Farmers Insurance have decided to not renew their partnership agreement ending in late October of this year.
As a result, the Farmers Home and Auto Insurance® program is no longer available to UC staff or retirees who don't have a policy signed before October 25, 2025. This applies to all 10 UC campuses, six health centers, UC Agriculture and Natural Resources, UC College of the Law, and Berkeley Lab. This will not impact existing policy holders, or prevent the UC community from working with Farmers outside of the UC program.
Farmers was unable to meet the terms of the original agreement under the new market conditions. Given these market pressures, we encourage staff and retirees to explore alternative insurance options on the open market.
