What is OWCP and FECA?

The Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) is a division of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) that administers the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) — the federal workers’ compensation program covering civilian federal government employees injured on the job. FECA provides medical treatment coverage, wage-loss compensation, and vocational rehabilitation for federal employees who sustain traumatic work injuries or occupational illnesses in the performance of their duties. To receive benefits, claims must be properly filed and supported by thorough medical documentation from an OWCP-enrolled treating physician.

Federal Employees We Treat

Federal Employees We Serve at LifeWorks We treat all federal employees covered under FECA — including:

Navigating federal workers’ compensation requires accurate and timely completion of specific Department of Labor forms. Incomplete or vague documentation is one of the most common reasons OWCP claims are delayed or denied.

At LifeWorks our team handles all required OWCP forms — ensuring every report meets DOL evidence standards

Used when a federal employee suffers a traumatic injury during a single work shift or specific incident — a fall, lifting injury, or on-duty accident. Must typically be filed within 30 days of the injury. Our providers ensure your medical records clearly establish diagnosis, objective findings, and causal relationship.

Used for occupational illnesses or conditions that develop over time from repetitive duties or prolonged exposure — including carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic back strain, or work-related hearing loss. Requires detailed medical evidence explaining how federal job duties contributed to the condition.

Filed when a previously accepted OWCP claim worsens or symptoms return without a new injury. Requires updated medical evidence demonstrating that the recurrence is directly related to the original accepted injury.

Used to request wage-loss compensation when a federal employee cannot work due to an accepted injury. Medical certification and work status documentation must clearly support disability and work restrictions.

Documents your current work capacity and restrictions — used to communicate your ability to return to work, modified duty status, or continued work restrictions to your agency and OWCP.

A critical medical document completed by your treating physician providing diagnosis, objective findings, causal relationship explanation, and treatment recommendations. Incomplete CA-20 forms are a leading cause of claim delays and denials. We complete this report with the precision and detail DOL standards require.

Why Accurate OWCP Documentation Is Critical to Your Claim

The Department of Labor requires clear, specific medical evidence establishing three things for every OWCP claim:

Without all three — your claim is at risk.

Many providers treat general work injuries without understanding the specific documentation standards required by DOL and OWCP. The result is vague reports, missing causal relationship narratives, and claims that stall or get denied — leaving federal employees without the benefits they are entitled to.

At LifeWorks we understand exactly what DOL requires — and we build every report, narrative, and form around those standards from the very first visit.
