Fast Offers and Payments
The Wildfire Recovery Compensation 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.
- Offers are delivered within 90 days of a fully documented, substantially complete claim.
- Payments are made within 30 days after all conditions in the settlement agreement have been satisfied.
- Many offers and payments are being processed in a fraction of that time.
Filing a claim does not waive a claimant’s rights. Receiving an offer does not waive rights either. Any path to compensation — whether through SCE’s program, mediation or litigation — typically ends with a settlement agreement to release all past and future claims, unless compensation is awarded through a final judgment. The key difference is timing. Historically, litigation related to wildfires has been a multiyear process before reaching resolution.
The program is voluntary and available through
