With the spread of the coronavirus / covid 19 there are going to be many issues arising with OWCP's handling of FECA claims. There was already a robust amount of work from home occurring before this event, OWCP personnel I have spoken with in the last week are mostly working from home. There is guidance on their website which can be accessed at the following link:
OWCP's 2024 payment schedule for FECA claimants receiving periodic wage loss and schedule award payments is now posted. It can become confusing to understand what date the next payment is due from OWC
I have seen three DMA memos in hearing loss cases by this physician and in EVERY case he invented a reason to reduce the claimant's hearing loss or simply say that the hearing loss is not work related
