PEN has totally redesigned our Injury Section in an effort to help you locate the information and resources you need. We have also designed a new OWCP Knowledge Base that may answer many of your questions. We also have a new section on Scheduled Awards.

All information contained here is for informational purposes only - you should seek help, support, and guidance from your union, USPS Human Resources or managers, and/or legal guidance from an attorney. Do not rely solely upon information contained here. We wish you every success.

We cannot answer questions or provide advice relating to on the job injuries or medical problems. Please visit our On The Job Injury forum.

NEW! May 12, 2006
It has just been brought to our attention that there are certain RED FLAGS that you should watch for in any schedule award claim that you file through OWCP. Please see our Red Flag page: Click Here

USPS States
Under the provisions of the Postal Reorganization Act, 39 U.S.C. 1005 (c), all employees of the United States Postal Service are covered by the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA).

FECA is administered by the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP), United States Department of Labor. OWCP determines whether the employee, or a survivor of the employee, is entitled to benefits under FECA. The director of OWCP and his or her designees have the exclusive authority to administer, interpret, and enforce the provisions of the Act.

Letter Carrier Duties
Carriers may need a description of their duties to provide to physicians - PEN has provided one here: Letter Carrier Duties
