Are you eligible for compensation in New Jersey?
BPU rules: food spoilage up to $250 and prescription replacement up to $300 for outages exceeding 72 hours. Applies to PSE&G, JCP&L, Atlantic City Electric and Rockland Electric.
Are you eligible right now?
Outage 72+ hours: file a spoilage claim with your utility within 60 days. Include photos, receipts, refrigerator/freezer model and pharmacy records for medication.
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 New Jersey Board of Public Utilities — 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.
