Federal Employees' Compensation Act

The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) provides financial and medical benefits to federal workers who get injured or become ill as a result of their jobs. It covers medical expenses, rehabilitation, and wage replacement for those unable to work due to their injury or illness. FECA aims to support federal employees by ensuring they receive the care they need while protecting their rights. The program is administered by the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP), which oversees claims and benefits for injured federal workers throughout the United States.
