Just for Employers

Dividends

In May, Texas Mutual announced that its board of directors voted unanimously to approve a $300 million general dividend distribution in 2026. Dividends will be mailed to qualifying policyholders in late June. 

Our dividend program plays a fundamental role in our work toward building a stronger, safer Texas. We’re proud to be able to reward our policyholders for their dedication to maintaining safe work environments and trusting us to protect their businesses.

Ownership pays

When an employer purchases a policy at Texas Mutual, they’re not just buying financial security for themselves and their employees. They're also becoming owners of Texas Mutual. We choose year after year to reward qualifying policyholders who contribute toward keeping employees safe and workers’ comp costs low. 

We’ve distributed general dividends for 28 consecutive years, bringing the payout total to nearly $5.1 billion.

Sharing our financial strength

Our dividend distribution has always been about more than our financial success. It gets to the heart of consistently rewarding our policyholder owners for sharing in our mission of building safer workplaces.

As a policyholder, you can improve your chance of qualifying for a dividend by prioritizing safety and putting a return to work program in place. And as your workers’ comp partner, we’re here to help you keep safety top of mind.

For many policyholders, dividends are key to managing workers' comp costs. Dividends give you more control over the net cost of insurance because they are based on your company’s loss experience.

Qualifying for a dividend

Texas Mutual policyholders have multiple opportunities to earn dividends. Whether you're a new policyholder or have been with us for several years, you can qualify for a dividend. Eligible policyholders include those who have a current, in-force policy and are in good standing.

General dividends

We reward policyholders by providing them with two different ways to earn a general dividend.

  • Safety is recognized through the profitability component, for policyholders that have acceptable combined loss ratios from the previous five calendar years.
  • Loyalty is recognized through the retention component. Because when you choose to do business with us, your commitment deserves to be rewarded.

Historically, Texas Mutual has paid general dividends in June.

Safety group dividends

Policyholders who are safety group members can also qualify for a group dividend if the group has a favorable loss history. By coming together to form safer workplaces, safety group members can potentially earn both a general and group dividend from Texas Mutual. 

Historically, safety group dividends are processed throughout the year. 

In 2025, Texas Mutual paid nearly $20 million in safety group dividends.
