Getting hurt at work can turn your whole life upside down. When you’re already dealing with pain, it’s hard to worry about your job, bills, and what happens next. But you don’t have to face this alone. Federal employees are protected under FECA, a program run by OWCP that gives you the support you need while you heal.
You may qualify for full medical coverage so you don’t pay anything for approved treatment, including physical therapy, medications, equipment, and even travel. If you can’t work because of your injury, there are wage-loss benefits to help replace the income you’re missing. Some workers may also qualify for a Schedule Award, which pays you for permanent loss of function, even if you return to work. And if your injury keeps you from going back to your old job, vocational rehab can help you train for a new career at no cost.
You deserve care, support, and a clear path forward. These benefits are here to help you heal without fear.
