Are you eligible for compensation in Illinois?
ComEd Reliability Performance Standards: bill credits triggered when a customer experiences 4+ interruptions or 8+ hours of outage time in a calendar year. Credits are issued automatically.
Are you eligible right now?
If you’ve had 4+ outages or 8+ outage hours this year on ComEd, the credit is automatic — no claim needed. For Ameren Illinois territory, file directly for spoilage.
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 Illinois Commerce 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.
