🇺🇸 Federal Workers — Did You Know?
💡 You have the right to choose your own treating physician after a work-related injury — you are NOT required to see the clinic your agency suggests.
💡 FECA has protected federal workers for over 100 years.
💡 Filing the wrong form (CA-1 vs CA-2) is one of the most common reasons claims get delayed.
💡 OWCP covers 2+ million federal employees, including USPS, TSA, VA, DoD civilians, BOP, DHS, and SSA.
💡 Most claim denials happen because of missing medical documentation, not because the injury isn’t real.
💡 FECA covers imaging, therapy, specialist care, surgery, and wage loss when medically justified.
💡 Federal workers can receive care for aggravated pre-existing conditions — not just new injuries.
💡 Neck and back injuries are among the most common work-related conditions federal employees face.
If you’re a federal worker dealing with neck, back, or nerve pain from work duties, understanding your rights matters.
You work hard , let's make sure you’re protected.
