Offers through the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program exceed $560 million to date.

ROSEMEAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 18, 2026-- Southern California Edison today announced a major milestone in the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program, with more than 10,000 participants seeking direct compensation for Eaton Fire impacts.

“Behind every claim is a person or family working to recover from a life-altering event,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International, SCE’s parent company. “With thousands of individuals seeking relief — and many more encouraged to complete a no-obligation application — we remain committed to delivering support with urgency, care and respect as recovery continues across the Altadena community.”

As of May 18, 2026:

• More than 3,300 claims submitted, consisting of over 10,000 individuals, trusts and legal entities.
• More than 1,670 offers extended to over 4,100 claimants, totaling more than $560 million.
• 945 claimants paid, totaling nearly $140 million, with more in process.

Submitting a claim, on average, takes under two hours. To date:

• Over 70% of offers have been accepted, with more pending.
• Offers have ranged from $15.1 million for a claimant with multiple properties to $15,000 for a tenant with non-burn damage.
• 36% of claims submitted are by attorneys or authorized representatives.

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. To date, the majority of claims submitted are for non-burn damage and total loss. Claims for loss of life have also been submitted.

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.
• The program is voluntary and available through Nov. 30, 2026.

Whether pursued through litigation or SCE’s claims process, wildfire claims are typically resolved through a signed agreement. Through the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program, this resolution — and compensation — can come much sooner.
