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.

ROSEMEAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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.

Five Tips to Help Claimants Receive a Fair Offer – Fast

These five tips can help streamline submissions, support timely reviews and connect claimants with personalized assistance when needed.

1. Monitor Email for Updates. The program supports uploads from most browsers and many file formats. A follow-up email is sent once the submission is reviewed and confirmed. Participants should monitor their inbox, spam and junk folders for updates.
2. Get One-on-One Assistance. Individuals experiencing difficulties uploading documents online can schedule an in-person appointment by calling 888-912-8528.
3. Reply or Call for an Update. Claim status information is available at the top of email correspondence. Individuals with questions about their claim can reply directly to an email or call 888-912-8528.
4. Confirm Insurance Information. The insurance amount displayed in an offer reflects information used during the evaluation process and may not represent the amount received from the insurance provider. Individuals who believe insurance information is incomplete should contact their insurer.
5. Check Requirements for Minors. For claims including a child under the age of 18, court approval — commonly referred to as a “court-approved minor’s settlement” or “minor’s compromise” — is required. If a child was under 18 when the claim was filed but is now 18 years old, a minor's compromise is no longer required.

Get Started

Filing a claim does not waive a claimant’s rights. Receiving an offer does not waive rights either. The program is voluntary and available through Nov. 30, 2026. To submit a claim and access detailed guidance in English and Spanish, visit the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program web page.

Upcoming Community Meeting

To learn more about the program, join company leaders and program participants at the community meeting on June 30 at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, beginning at 6 p.m. In addition to a panel featuring program participants, SCE experts will be available to answer questions about rebuilding and recovery.
