OWCP DOL Federal Workers' Compensation Services In Racine, WI

OWCP stands for the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs. If you are a federal employee who was injured on the job or developed a work-related illness, you may qualify for benefits under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA). This includes postal workers, TSA agents, VA employees, and other federal staff.

Federal employees who have sustained a work-related injury or developed an occupational illness may be eligible for benefits under the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP), which is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

Both traumatic injuries (sudden accidents or events) and occupational illnesses (conditions developed over time due to work duties) are covered, as long as they are job-related.

Report the injury to your supervisor and seek medical care as soon as possible. You must also file the appropriate OWCP forms—typically Form CA-1 for traumatic injuries or Form CA-2 for occupational diseases.
