What is FECA compensation?

FECA, or the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, provides wage-loss benefits, medical treatment, and vocational rehabilitation for federal employees who sustain work-related injuries or illnesses. It is administered by the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) and aims to ensure that injured workers receive necessary support while they recover. Benefits can cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and a portion of lost wages, offering financial security during the recovery process.
