United Fire Group Inc's dividend schedule
United Fire Group Inc has paid quarterly across the 39 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on September 4, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the first third of the month.
Across the 57 announcements we have on file, UFCS declares a dividend a median of 13 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice UFCS gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 16 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 11 raises in our record, most take effect with the May payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 25.0%, effective with the June 2026 ex-date.

Special dividends
Payments well outside UFCS's regular rate. These are one-offs — they are excluded from the growth figures above, and they are not assumed to recur, so they do not feed the predicted dates.
