SCE Extends Offers to Over 5,000 Community Members Impacted by Eaton Fire
Five tips to help claimants get a fast offer through the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program.
Southern California Edison today announced that more than $700 million has been offered to over 5,000 community members through its Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program, marking continued progress in extending relief to those directly impacted by the Eaton Fire. The voluntary program is designed to offer compensation in line with settlement values for similar claims in past wildfire lawsuits, with a more streamlined and faster approach than litigation.
"Recovery looks different for every family and business. Our focus is on helping people move forward with dedicated support, clear information and a streamlined process that delivers timely, fair outcomes," said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International, SCE's parent company.
Submitting a claim takes less than two hours on average. Once SCE receives a substantially complete claim, offers are delivered within 90 days — with most offers provided in about a third of that time. One-on-one assistance in multiple languages is available to provide ongoing support along the way.
