Federal Employees' Compensation Appeals Board (FECAB)

The Federal Employees' Compensation Appeals Board (FECAB) is an independent review body that handles appeals from federal employees who are dissatisfied with decisions regarding their workers' compensation claims. It reviews cases related to injury or illness arising from federal employment, ensuring that the employees receive fair consideration of their appeals. FECAB does not conduct new hearings but evaluates the evidence and decisions made by the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP). Its goal is to ensure consistent and equitable application of workers' compensation laws for federal employees across the country.
