Deadline extended for filing fire claims in PG&E Chapter 11 Cases

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – Pacific Gas and Electric Corp. and Pacific Gas and Electric Co. are sharing that the bankruptcy court-approved deadline for fire claimants to file claims against PG&E has been extended to Dec. 31 at 5 p.m. (Pacific Time).

The deadline for filing claims is known as the Bar Date. PG&E remains focused on ensuring fire victims and creditors are compensated fairly and expeditiously through the Chapter 11 process.

Claims related to the Northern California fires that arose prior to Jan. 29, 2019, must be filed in PG&E’s Chapter 11 cases and received no later than the extended deadline of Dec. 31 at 5 p.m.

If any person or entity believes money is owed to them by PG&E for loss or injury resulting from the Northern California fires that arose before PG&E filed for Chapter 11 on Jan. 29, then they must file a proof of claim before the extended bar date. The extended bar date does not apply to claims unrelated to the Northern California fires.

If those who are affected do not submit a proof of claim by this extended deadline, they may be barred from filing a claim against PG&E and give up rights to any payment or other compensation.

Fire claims can be filed online, at one of six PG&E Claim Service Centers (listed below), or by mail. Importantly, fire claims must be received by the extended bar date. So, if filing by mail, delivery must be completed before the extended bar date.

For complete details on who is eligible to file a claim, how to file a claim, the proof of claim form and other information, visit www.pgewildfireinfo.com or call the toll-free information line at 844-627-5328.

PG&E has also established a section of its website at www.pge.com/reorganization with additional information about the bar date notice.

Fire claims may be filed electronically at www.pgewildfireinfo.com by selecting the “Submit a Claim” tab.

Fire claims may be submitted in person at the following PG&E Claim Service Centers through Dec. 31, 2019, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, except for public holidays.
