What Is the Department of Labor (DOL) Program?

The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) provides medical benefits and wage-loss compensation to federal employees who suffer job-related injuries or occupational illnesses.

Unlike traditional Workers' Compensation programs, federal employees receive benefits through the Department of Labor and OWCP.
