What Is the USPS Injury Compensation Program?

Trusted Help from Dr. Kendra Pearson and the OWCP Experts at Restore Muscle & Joint in Kansas City

If you’re a United States Postal Service (USPS) employee who’s been injured on the job, you may be eligible for benefits through the USPS Injury Compensation Program, administered under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA). This program provides vital support—medical care, wage replacement, and rehabilitation—for postal workers hurt in the line of duty.

But navigating the federal workers’ compensation system can be confusing. That’s where trusted professionals like Dr. Kendra Pearson and her dedicated team at Restore Muscle & Joint in Kansas City come in—guiding injured federal employees every step of the way with expert care and claims assistance.

Understanding the USPS Injury Compensation Program

The USPS Injury Compensation Program is a specialized branch of the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP), part of the U.S. Department of Labor. It’s designed to protect career and non-career USPS employees who suffer:

  • Traumatic injuries (e.g., slips, falls, lifting accidents)
  • Occupational diseases (e.g., repetitive strain injuries, hearing loss)
  • Aggravations of pre-existing conditions

When approved, your benefits may include:

  • Medical treatment paid by the Department of Labor
  • Wage replacement for time missed from work
  • Vocational rehabilitation for return-to-work support
  • Schedule awards for permanent impairment

How to Start a Claim After a USPS Injury

To file a claim, you’ll need to complete the proper OWCP forms—either:

  • CA-1 for a traumatic injury, or
  • CA-2 for an occupational illness

Your claim must be backed by strong medical documentation, and it’s important to see a DOL-credentialed physician who understands how to properly complete OWCP paperwork and guide your recovery.
