Book Description
In FY2006, 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. This report examined: (1) how effectively the Dept. of Labor¿s 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. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
