What is the Compensation Act (FECA)?

The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) is a U.S. law that provides wage-loss compensation, medical benefits, and vocational rehabilitation to federal employees who are injured or become ill due to their job. It covers a wide range of injuries, including those that occur in the workplace or as a result of job-related activities. Administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, FECA aims to protect the financial stability of injured workers while ensuring they receive necessary medical care. The act also includes provisions for survivors of employees who die as a result of work-related injuries.
