The state farm said his finances were strained due to the fires of Los Angeles County, from which he expects to pay claims over $ 7 billion.

The State Farm has waiting for demands from last summer – a separate hearing for this will happen by June – but said it should increase the percentages as soon as possible. According to California Act, the public may object to evaluating the increases and interferes, which can then lead to a hearing of the tariff.

While State Farm said it had provided this information, it is expected to provide further details in the hearing this week.
The hearing at the offices of Ouckland in Oakland will be held before an administrative law judge who will decide whether to deal with the three planned days until Thursday.

AI scammers continue to deceive community colleges
California Colleges in the Community have long been fighting scammers who use artificial intelligence bots to pose as students To get millions of dollars financial aid. Now the latest data reveal this The problem is worsening, writes Calmatters’ Adam EchelmanS
Last year Calmatters reports From September 2021 to December 2023, over $ 5 million in federal aid and nearly $ 1.5 million in state aid went to fraudsters. The California office of the California College Chancellor also reports that in 2024, about 25% of college candidates were probably false.
But now recent findings show that it is about 34%, and colleges say that in the last 12 months, $ 10 million in federal dollars have been distributed to fake students and over $ 3 million in state money.
The problem is unlikely to improve soon. In addition to their own measures for cybersecurity and certification of students, colleges are partly relying on the US Department of Education to help find fraudsters. The administration of President Donald Trump is working to dismantle the department and, after returning to the White House, the office, which administers federal aid, has lost about half of its employees.
