OWCP FORMS

The best resources for OWCP forms will depend on the specific program you’re filing under. The Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) administers four major disability compensation programs:

  • Federal Employees Program (FEP): Provides wage replacement benefits, medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation and other benefits to certain federal employees who experience work-related injury or illness.
  • Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Program (LHWCA): Provides benefits to workers who are injured on the job while working on navigable waters of the United States, adjoining land areas, or certain related facilities.
  • Black Lung Benefits Act (BLBA): Provides benefits to coal miners who have black lung disease, and to certain survivors of miners who die from black lung disease.
