ROSEMEAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2026-- Southern California Edison today announced another milestone in recovery efforts following the Eaton Fire, with more than 1,200 individual claimants paid through the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program.

“Every payment represents a step forward for someone after the Eaton Fire,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International, SCE’s parent company. “We remain focused on moving claims forward as efficiently and thoughtfully as possible, recognizing how important timely support is to recovery.”

Just this week, more than 250 individual claimants were paid.

As of May 21, 2026:

  • Nearly 3,400 claims submitted, consisting of about 10,200 individuals, trusts and legal entities.
  • More than 1,750 offers extended to over 4,300 claimants, totaling nearly $600 million.
  • More than 1,200 claimants paid, totaling $175 million, with many more in process.

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.

The comprehensive program includes owner and tenant claims for total and partial structure loss, commercial property loss, business interruption, non-burn damage (such as smoke, soot or ash), physical injury and loss of life.

  • Offers are delivered within 90 days of a fully documented, substantially complete claim. More than 70% have been accepted, with more pending.
  • 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.
  • The program is voluntary and available through Nov. 30, 2026.
