More than 1,500 offers have been extended through the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program to nearly 3,800 claimants.

Southern California Edison today announced that more than $500 million has been offered to community members directly impacted by the Eaton Fire through its Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program. In the program’s first six months, more than 1,500 offers have been extended to almost 3,800 claimants.

“Passing $500 million in offers reflects both the scale of need and our commitment to respond with urgency,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International, SCE’s parent company. “For those still considering their options, filing a claim to receive a no-obligation offer keeps all paths open. We will keep working to extend offers, process payments and support community members as Altadena continues its recovery.”

As of April 29, 2026:

• Nearly 3,200 claims submitted, consisting of over 9,500 individuals, trusts and legal entities.
• More than 1,500 offers extended to nearly 3,800 claimants, totaling more than $500 million.
• More than 1,000 offers accepted — more are pending, with less than 4% requesting a detailed review.
• More than 750 claimants paid, totaling over $100 million, with 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.

• 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 Nov. 30, 2026.
