What to Expect When You Submit a Claim to SCE\u2019s Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program<\/b><\/p>\n

With the Nov. 30 deadline approaching, SCE explains what community members impacted by the Eaton Fire can expect from submission through offer and payment.<\/i><\/p>\n

ROSEMEAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nMore than 18,200 community members have already turned to Southern California Edison\u2019s Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program<\/a> to seek direct compensation for their impacts from the Eaton Fire. With just over two weeks remaining before the Nov. 30 claim submission deadline, the record pace of claims submissions continues. Those still considering their recovery options are encouraged to take the first step by submitting a claim to keep this option available.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThousands of community members have already turned to the program as they recover and move forward,\u201d said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International, SCE\u2019s parent company. \u201cThere is still time to submit a claim by November 30 and receive an offer with no obligation to accept.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nIt takes about two hours on average to submit a claim, with streamlined documentation requirements that are significantly less burdensome than litigation. Submitting a claim, receiving an offer and evaluating that offer do not waive a claimant\u2019s rights, including the option to pursue litigation.<\/p>\n

\nFor anyone who has been told that waiting for the bellwether trial on March 8, 2027, will provide compensation within months of the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program deadline, that is false. Only eight households have been selected by the court to participate in the initial trial. Traditional litigation can take years, with some claims from wildfires in 2017 and 2018 still pending today. Through the SCE program, community members can receive offers and payments in a fraction of that time.<\/p>\n

What to Expect After Submitting a Claim<\/b><\/p>\n

Nov. 30 is the deadline to submit a claim<\/a>, not to complete the entire process. Claims submitted by the deadline will continue to be evaluated and processed afterward, provided claimants respond in a timely manner to requests for additional information needed to keep their claim active.<\/p>\n
