About the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA)

The FECA was passed in 1916 to provide workers compensation benefits for federal employees.  The program is administered by the Department of Labor, Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP), Division of Federal Employees’ Compensation (DFEC).  

FECA provides for:
-	Medical Coverage
-	Continuation of Pay up to the first 45 days following an injury.
-	Compensation for continued lost wages.
-	Schedule Awards.
-	Vocational Rehabilitation.
-	Death/Burial Expenses.

There are five basic requirements that must be proven to support a FECA claim:
-	Claim was timely filed
-	Claimant is a Federal/Civil Employee
-	The fact of injury/illness
-	The injury/illness occurred while in the performance of duty
-	A causal relationship between the injury/illness an employment.

Detailed medical evidence key to acceptance of a FECA claim.  20CFR10.330 provides in detail what the OWCP is looking for in medical evidence.

§ 10.330  What are the requirements for medical reports?  
 
 In all cases reported to OWCP, a medical report from the attending physician is required.  This report should include:
 
 (a) Dates of examination and treatment;
 (b) History given by the employee;
 (c) Physical findings;
 (d) Results of diagnostic tests;
 (e) Diagnosis;
 (f) Course of treatment;
 (g) A description of any other conditions found but not due to the claimed injury;
 (h) The treatment given or recommended for the claimed injury;
 (i) The physician's opinion, with medical reasons, as to causal relationship between the diagnosed condition(s) and the factors or conditions of the employment;
 (j) The extent of disability affecting the employee's ability to work due to the injury;
 (k) The prognosis for recovery; and
