Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP)
The Department of Labor's OWCP administers four major disability compensation programs which provides to federal workers (or their dependents) who are injured at work or acquire an occupational disease:

• Wage replacement benefits
• Medical treatment
• Vocational rehabilitation
• Other benefits

Other specific groups are covered by:

• Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program
• Federal Employees' Compensation Program
• Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Program
• Black Lung Benefits Program

These entities serve the specific employee groups who are covered under the relevant statutes and regulations by mitigating the financial burden resulting from workplace injury. Individuals injured on the job while employed by private companies or state and local government agencies should contact their state workers' compensation board.

The Department of Labor has several programs designed to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses. You may obtain information about these programs by visiting our Workplace Safety & Health page.
