One experience I've had with State Farm (NOT a tower claim) is the 
check was made out jointly to me and my mortgage company. The deal 
was I had to sign the check, forward it to the mortgage company, 
then they would release payment after they inspected the repair 
work. When I questioned this, I was told by State Farm when the dollar 
amount exceeded a certain number (I don't recall the number) this is 
specified in the policy. Something else to check out in the fine 
print...
