INSURANCE PROCEEDS WORKSHOP FOR EATON FIRE SURVIVORS AUG.12 AT PASADENA SENIOR CENTER

Residents of Altadena and Pasadena who were impacted by the Eaton fire are invited to attend a new workshop, “Unlock the Power of Your Insurance Proceeds,” on Tuesday, Aug. 12 at 10 a.m. onsite at the Pasadena Senior Center.

This workshop is geared to fire-impacted homeowners who want to learn more about their options, and asks the question, “What if you could use your insurance funds for more than just rebuilding?” Representatives from United Policyholders, a non-profit whose mission is to be a trustworthy and useful information resource and a respected voice for consumers of all types of insurance across the United States, will be on hand to answer your questions, and suggest alternative ideas, including:

• Building or buying a home in a different town, city or state
• Applying to a senior community with step-up care
• Creative options for your future
• What can you do with your insurance payout

To register for the “Unlock the Power of Your Insurance Proceeds” workshop, visit pasadenaseniorcenter.org and click on Workshops under the Lectures & Classes menu. The workshop is free, and open to all.

Join this workshop to Explore:

• What’s legally possible
• The ins and outs of insurance policies, your rights, and state laws
• Real life success stories
• Hear about others who’ve used their proceeds in creative ways
• Maximizing your payout
• Understand common pitfalls and expert strategies to make sure you get the most out of your insurance funds.

This workshop is just one of many initiatives of PSC’s Eaton Fire Community Support resources that were provided to the community within days of the devastating Eaton Fire. Additional resources to community members impacted by the fire can be found under the Resources menu at pasadenaseniorcenter.org.
