Are you eligible for compensation in California?
IOUs (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) must credit residential customers $25–$100 for Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) de-energizations exceeding 48 hours. Storm-related outages are handled case-by-case.
Are you eligible right now?
PSPS outages over 48 hours: automatic credit. Storm outages: file a claim for food spoilage and damaged appliances directly with the utility. Medical baseline customers (CPAP, dialysis) may qualify for additional reimbursement.
How to file:
- Document the outage: start time, end time, photos of spoiled food and damaged appliances, receipts for replacement purchases.
- Go to your utility’s claims page (linked above in the “who to call” section) and submit within 30–60 days.
- If your claim is denied or stalls, file a consumer complaint with the California Public Utilities Commission — they have authority over the utility.
- For damages from a federally declared disaster, also check disasterassistance.gov for FEMA Individual Assistance.
Renters: a standalone food spoilage benefit in your HO-4 policy (typically $500–$1,000, no deductible) may cover what your utility won’t. See the renters insurance breakdown.
