How bad is this crack? I just noticed it today but I assume it's been there a while and happened after an earth earthquake we had a few months ago.

Is this something I can just fill in with mortar and keep an eye on?

I plan on reaching out to our insurance company to see if they'll pay for it but if not we're pretty strapped for cash at the moment.

You don't need an epoxy of any sort for this ... just a grinder, some more mortar, and a joiner.

This is just something that happens with masonry after decades.
