Book Description
In fiscal year 2006, the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) program paid over $1.8 billion in wage loss compensation to federal employees who were unable to work after being injured on the job. Under the Comptroller General's authority to conduct evaluations on his own initiative, GAO examined (1) how effectively the Department of Labor's (Labor) Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) manages the risk of improper FECA compensation payments; (2) what vulnerabilities to improper payments, if any, exist in OWCP's procedures for making FECA wage loss payments; and (3) how well OWCP ensures the recovery of identified FECA overpayments. To address these issues, GAO reviewed OWCP documents, analyzed data obtained from OWCP, reviewed a random and projectable sample of FECA claims files, visited five OWCP district offices, and interviewed OWCP headquarters and district officials. The Secretary of Labor should direct OWCP to, among other things, develop a strategy to ensure that the agency's efforts to prevent and monitor improper payments are properly balanced with its other priorities, take steps to reduce the most common causes of improper

Book Description
"It has long been accepted in this country that when a worker is injured on the job, his employer should bear some or all of the expense resulting from that injury. The largest single employer in the country. the Federal Government, meets this obligation through the Federal Employees Compensation Act (FECA) administered by the Office of Workers Compensation Programs of the Department of Labor. Federal workers are protected not only against injuries sustained on the job, but also against occupational illnesses contracted as a result of exposures in the workplace. During the subcommittee's investigation of safety in the Federal workplace, we were told of problems with the compensation program for Federal workers. In installation after installation, management officials, doctors, and safety officers expressed their concern that the 1974 amendments to this act had led to an increase in the claims made for compensation. In their view, the changes made in 1974 made it possible for some workers to abuse the compensation program. Notable among these were the provisions authorizing the worker to select the physician of his choice and the deletion of the requirement that the worker use 3 days of sick leave before going on compensation"--Page 1.
