Food or Medicine Loss in Connecticut
Have you experienced a food or medicine loss due to an extended power outage (96 hours or more)? You may be eligible to file a claim for reimbursement.
How it Works
- This claim is available for Connecticut residential customers only
- Spoiled food or medicine must be due to an electrical outage caused by an Eversource distribution system failure
- You may become eligible for this claim 96 hours from the time damage assessment begins, not from the time your outage begins
After a storm has passed, conditions like impassable roads, high winds or other potential safety hazards are considered before crews can be sent out to start assessing the damage.
How to file a claim
- Complete and submit the online form (you will be directed to another website)
- An Eversource representative may contact you to discuss the claim
- If approved, you'll be paid up to a maximum of $250 by check or account credit within 60 days
Spoiled food or other perishable merchandise should not be held for inspection. Please dispose according to good sanitary practices.
To submit a claim offline, please download and mail in a printable form.
Property damage?
This claim is only for food or medicine loss. If you have suffered damage to your property and think Eversource may be responsible, you can file a property damage claim.
