California wildfire victims, including Jason Meek, are owed $13.5 billion under a 2020 settlement, but it won't fully compensate their losses. Meek and his elderly mother, who lost their Northern California house in a 2017 wildfire, are expecting an insufficient final amount to rebuild a similar home.
