<\/a><\/a>\n\u201cWe know recovery doesn\u2019t happen all at once \u2014 it happens one step at a time,\u201d said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International, SCE\u2019s parent company. \u201cEach offer and payment represent a meaningful step forward, and we\u2019re committed to helping more community members reach these points as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>
\nAs of June 4:<\/p>
- \n
- \nMore than 3,500 claims submitted, consisting of nearly 10,700 individuals, trusts and legal entities.<\/li>\n
- \nNearly 1,900 offers extended to more than 4,600 claimants, totaling over $650 million.<\/li>\n
- \nNearly 1,500 claimants paid, totaling over $200 million, with many more in process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
\nCompensation amounts vary significantly based on the nature of a claim, from payments to renters with smoke and ash damage in Zone 2 of the Eligibility Area to larger payments for complex total losses. Available insurance also factors into certain compensation categories and payments from the program. Real examples include:<\/p>
- \n
- \nAverage total for homeowner with total loss: $1,700,627\n
- \n
- \nAverage payment through the program: $754,204<\/li>\n
- \nAverage insurance coverage: $946,423<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n
- \nHighest total for homeowner with total loss: about $6,061,000\n
- \n
- \nPayment through the program: about $1,484,000<\/li>\n
- \nAvailable insurance coverage: about $4,577,000<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n
- \nAverage payment for tenant with smoke and ash damage: $44,368<\/li>\n
- \nLowest payment for tenant in Zone 2 with smoke and ash damage: $15,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>
\nSee how multiple forms of compensation come together in these examples<\/a>.<\/p>
\nOn average, offers are being delivered within 35 days, well within the 90-day commitment following submission of a substantially complete claim. Payments are made within 30 days after all conditions in the settlement agreement have been satisfied. Many payments are being processed in a fraction of that time.<\/p>
\nSubmitting a claim, on average, takes under two hours. To date:<\/p>
- \n
- \nOver 70% of offers have been accepted, with more pending.<\/li>\n
- \n32% of claims submitted are by attorneys or authorized representatives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
\nThe 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. Whether pursued through litigation or SCE\u2019s claims process, wildfire claims are typically resolved through a signed agreement. Through the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program, this resolution \u2014 and compensation \u2014 can come much sooner.<\/p>
\nFiling a claim does not waive a claimant\u2019s rights. Receiving an offer does not waive rights either. The program is voluntary and available through Nov. 30, 2026.<\/p>
