State Farm ALE Policyholders: County Counsel Seeks Declarations by October 27

L.A. County Counsel is seeking experiences from certain State Farm policyholders displaced by the Eaton and Palisades fires whose temporary-housing / Additional Living Expense (ALE) coverage has ended or whose extension was denied or threatened with denial. County lawyers were aiming to finalize declarations by Tuesday, October 27 for a proposed urgent court filing. The blank County questionnaire asks about claim dates, insurance limits, contamination testing, delays, housing costs and possible hardship. Respondents may skip questions they are uncomfortable answering. The questionnaire expressly refers to a State Farm homeowners policy.

Action: If your household may qualify, contact County Counsel promptly. Make your own copy of the blank questionnaire rather than requesting access to the master, State Farm policyholders should send completed information directly to County Counsel NO LATER THAN 10/27/26: Joe Mellis at JMellis@counsel.lacounty.gov, 213-308-5952 and Andrea Ross at ARoss@counsel.lacounty.gov, 323-459-5321
