Which Federal Workers Are Covered By OWCP?

All civilian employees of the federal government are covered by the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA). This includes employees of well-known agencies like the United States Postal Service (USPS), the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Some lesser-known examples include federal jurors and volunteers with organizations like the Peace Corps.

It’s important to note that OWCP does not cover federal contractors or employees of state governments. If you’re unsure about your coverage, you can always check with your supervisor or consult the Department of Labor’s OWCP website https://www.dol.gov/agencies/owcp/FECA.
