I. Background The Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) administers the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq. The statute provides for the payment of benefits for wage loss and/or for permanent impairment to a scheduled member, arising out of a work related injury or disease. The Act outlines the elements of pay which are to be included in an individual’s pay rate, and sets forth various other criteria for determining eligibility to and the amount of benefits, including augmentation of basic compensation for individuals with qualifying dependents; a requirement to report any earnings during a period that compensation is claimed; a prohibition against concurrent receipt of FECA benefits and benefits from OPM or certain VA benefits; a mandate that money collected from a liable third party found responsible for the injury for which compensation has been paid be applied to benefits paid or payable. Before compensation may be paid, the case file must contain medical evidence showing that the claimant’s disability is casually related to the claimants’ federal employment. As a particular claim ages, there is a continuing need for updated information to support continuing benefits. The FECA Medical Report E:\FR\FM\24FEN1.SGM 24FEN1
