Over 10,000 Community Members Seek Direct Relief for Eaton Fire Recovery through SCE ROSEMEAD, Calif.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--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:

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

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.

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.

Those who need help with advancing an existing claim, a status update or assistance with filing a new claim are encouraged to contact the dedicated support team at 888-912-8528.
