The short answer
A STATE FARM line on a bank or card statement most likely relates to a State Farm insurance bill payment, often through AutoPay. State Farm's help pages explain how its billing and payments work but do not document the exact statement wording, including the STATE FARM RO variants. Compare the date and amount with Billing and Payment History or the bill in your State Farm Document Center, or ask your State Farm agent.
Two State Farm charges can be normal during the billing switch
State Farm says it is moving customers from its older State Farm Payment Plan to a new system called State Farm Billing. Auto, home and property policies move to State Farm Billing with a new billing account number, while life, health and recreational vehicle policies stay on the State Farm Payment Plan account. State Farm says this means two separate bills, and AutoPay customers will see two charges on their bank or credit card statement.
So two State Farm lines in the same month do not by themselves mean a duplicate payment. Match each one to a billing account before you call. State Farm also notes that under the new system it stops sending bills electronically to your bank or payment service for the policies that move.

When the withdrawal posts and where to check it
According to State Farm, an authorized payment starts processing on the date you chose, or the next business day if that date falls on a weekend or holiday. It usually processes the payment one business day before withdrawing funds, and most of the time the charge happens the same day it is processed. Payments are processed nightly Monday to Friday, so a recent payment can take up to two business days to show in your online history, and an AutoPay payment may not appear in your bank account immediately.
To see what a bill covered, State Farm Billing customers can open the bill in the Document Center under the related policy; State Farm Payment Plan customers can use the Billing and Payment History page. The Payment Center Insurance page lists, under Payment Methods, which bank account or card is linked to AutoPay.
Why are there two State Farm withdrawals this month?
State Farm says customers moving to State Farm Billing can have one bill for auto, home or property policies and another for life or health policies, which shows as two AutoPay charges.

Why the amount changed
State Farm lists a premium rate increase as one reason a bill goes up, and points to the latest renewal notice or billing statement in the Document Center for details. It also applies a late payment fee when payment is not received by the due date, and a returned payment fee if your bank returns a payment. If the premium did not change but the bill is higher, State Farm suggests checking the billing statement for fees and contacting your agent if a fee looks wrong.
Who should I contact about a State Farm charge?
State Farm's help center says your State Farm agent has the most accurate information about your bills, payments and billing account.

Stopping AutoPay or reporting an unknown withdrawal
State Farm says that to unenroll from AutoPay you contact your agent, and that leaving AutoPay could raise the installment fee on your next State Farm Billing statement. The CFPB notes that stopping automatic payments does not cancel the policy or what you owe, so decide whether you are changing how you pay or ending coverage.
If you hold no State Farm policy and do not recognize the withdrawal, tell your bank or credit union right away. The CFPB explains that federal law lets you dispute unauthorized transfers from your account if you report in time, and that you can revoke a company's permission to take automatic payments by notifying both the company and your bank. Keep copies of what you send and the dates.
