Dividends
New Jersey policyholders are eligible to receive dividends,∥ which reduce the overall cost of auto and home insurance.
Dividends amount to a percentage of the premium you paid on your prior year’s policy. New Jersey policyholders with NJM Auto, Homeowners, Condo, or Renters Insurance receive a dividend that is applied as a credit to the policy premium when the policy renews the following year.
New Jersey policyholders with NJM Auto Insurance may also receive a second dividend, known as a “special dividend,” which comes in the form of a check.
