Federal employees injured on the job are entitled to workers compensation. There are several different federal workers compensation programs related to different populations of workers, but the majority of federal workers fall under the provisions of the Federal Employees Compensation Act (FECA).
FECA provides medical and wage loss compensation benefits to civilian employees of the United States for disability due to injury or disease sustained while in the performance of work duty. FECA also provides for the payment of benefits to dependents if a work-related injury or disease causes an employee’s death.
