$260 million in dividends to be distributed to  qualifying policyholders in 2017
 
It's another record year for dividends! Texas Mutual's board of directors voted this week to approve a company-record $260 million dividend payout that will be distributed to qualifying policyholder owners beginning in late June.  We will send agents a list of qualifying clients in advance, either by email or in the mail, based on the agents' communication preferences. 
 
This marks the 19th consecutive year Texas Mutual's board of directors has approved dividends. By the end of the year, Texas Mutual will have distributed more than $2.2 billion in dividends since 1999, with more than half of that being paid in the last five years alone. 

Watch for more dividend news in future issues of Agent News, through email or mail, and by logging into texasmutual.com. If you have questions, call your agency representative or contact our information service center at (800) 859-5995.
New, easy online payment option at texasmutual.com

One of Texas Mutual's key values is service and that means adapting our technology to best meet you and your clients' needs. The most recent way we've put this into action is by offering a new, easy way to make payments online.

Policyholders can now quickly and easily submit premium payments from a checking or savings account without logging into Texas Mutual Online.  Customers enrolled in online payroll reporting will still need to log in to submit premium payments, but we will be adding the functionality for them to use this option late this summer.

To use the new payment option, your clients can click Make a Payment on the homepage of texasmutual.com. The website will guide your clients through the quick and easy process.
Other states data download for your Texas Mutual clients
 
Your clients with other states coverage now have the ability to download loss data as an excel file through Texas Mutual Online. This expanded service makes it easier for your clients with out-of-state business to view loss data in the same format they already receive Texas data.

Loss data provides valuable insight into loss history and can help identify trends in claims and areas needing improvement.  You can also view this information, giving you the power to provide even better service to clients. 

To view loss reports for your clients, click on Loss Run and Claim Detail under the Agents tab on texasmutual.com .  
A team effort leads to recovery and saves business
 
When an employer is faced with a worker who has experienced a devastating workplace injury, the best outcome is getting the injured worker back to the life they love. For Josh Paulin, getting to that point required learning to walk, talk and read again.  He worked hard to do so, but the support he received from his employer played a significant part as well. Watch Josh's story and see how the special relationship with his employer provided momentum for his recovery.
