Federal Employee Compensation Act (FECA)

The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) is a law that provides workers' compensation benefits to federal employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. It covers medical treatment, wage replacement, and rehabilitation costs. FECA ensures employees receive support without needing to prove employer fault, simplifying the process of obtaining aid after work-related accidents or health issues. Administered by the Office of Worker’s Compensation Programs (OWCP), it aims to promote workplace safety and fair treatment for federal workers facing work-related health challenges.
