To make proper determinations of an employee's entitlement to
benefits, OWCP may verify the earnings reported by the employee through
a variety of means, including but not limited to computer matches with
the Office of Personnel Management and inquiries to the Social Security
Administration. Also, OWCP may perform computer matches with records of
State agencies, including but not limited to workers' compensation
administrations, to determine whether private employers are paying
workers' compensation insurance premiums for recipients of benefits
under the FECA.
