Federal Worker Injury

Those who work for the US government and its agencies and sustain work-related injuries are often protected by the Federal Employee Compensation Act (FECA). FECA is comparable to state workers' compensation laws, which cover employees for private businesses, but it's also very different in some aspects. And, like many things where the federal government is involved, there are various forms and steps you need to go though to receive compensation.

Did you know?
Just because you filed a notice regarding your injury or accident does not automatically mean you'll be compensated any money or benefits for income.
You may qualify to have your medical care and expenses taken care of, and that should occur almost right away when you file the notice. Additional benefits, on the other hand, are another issue.
