NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES FILING CLAIM FOR OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE
Diseases and illnesses which occur during or after Federal employment are not automatically covered by the Federal Employees'
Compensation Act. You must provide factual and medical evidence to establish that conditions of employment caused or
aggravated the disease or illness.
The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) understands that gathering the necessary evidence requires substantial
effort. The attached checklist is designed to help you. Form CA-2 ("Federal Employees' Notice of Occupational Disease and
Claim for Compensation"), your statements in response to the checklist, and a report from your treating physician should all be
given to your agency Compensation Specialist at the same time. Please return the checklist with your statements. Check off
each item as it is completed or let us know when we can expect the information. Your supervisor and the Compensation
Specialist will compile the additional information required and forward a complete and organized package to OWCP. If your
Agency has no Compensation Specialist or other person designated to forward information to OWCP, give the information
directly to your supervisor.
Upon receipt of your claim, OWCP will create a case and assign it to a claims examiner for processing. You will receive a post
card advising you of the case number. Use this number on all future correspondence about your claim.
If you are eligible for Civil Service retirement, you may apply for both retirement benefits from the Office of Personnel Manage-
ment (OPM) and workers' compensation benefits from OWCP. However, in most cases, you cannot receive both benefits for
the same period of time.
HINTS: Are your statements legible? Would your statements make sense to someone who has never done your job? Do your
statements answer the questions? Are your statements complete and accurate? A NARRATIVE REPORT FROM YOUR
PHYSICIAN IS REQUIRED. Reports on medical forms, such as Form CA-20, are rarely adequate in occupational disease cases.
NOTICE TO COMPENSATION SPECIALISTS AND SUPERVISORS
OWCP needs your help to improve the timeliness of adjudication of occupational disease cases. We have developed check-
lists to help you and the employee submit a claim in an organized and complete manner. The checklists will help the
claims examiner identity what information has been submitted and what is still outstanding.
Whenever an employee wants to file a claim for occupational disease or illness, please give him or her:
1. Form CA-2, Federal Employees' Notice of Occupational Disease and Claim for Compensation, and
2. Two copies of the checklist describing evidence required in support of the claim. One checklist is for the employee to
mark and return with the completed package. The second checklist is for the employee to take to the physician.
In addition to describing the evidence required from the employee, the checklists describe the information to be submitted
by the employing agency. When Form CA-2 and the employee's statements are returned, you are required by instructions
on the CA-2 to forward them to OWCP within ten working days. Statements and documents required from the agency
should be submitted with the CA-2 whenever possible. Please use the checklist to note what information from the
employing agency is enclosed, unavailable or pending. If pending, please give the anticipated mailing date. Agency
comments, statements and documentation are essential for the examiner to get a well rounded picture of the
employment conditions.

given to your agency Compensation Specialist at the same time. Please return the checklist with your statements. Check off
each item as it is completed or let us know when we can expect the information. Your supervisor and the Compensation
Specialist will compile the additional information required and forward a complete and organized package to OWCP. If your
Agency has no Compensation Specialist or other person designated to forward information to OWCP, give the information directly
to your supervisor.
Upon receipt of your claim, OWCP will create a case and assign it to a claims examiner for processing. You will receive a post
card advising you of the case number. Use this number on all future correspondence about your claim.
If you are eligible for Civil Service retirement, you may apply for both retirement benefits from the Office of Personnel Manage-
ment (OPM) and workers' compensation benefits from OWCP. However, in most cases, you cannot receive both benefits for the
same period of time.
HINTS: Are your statements legible? Would your statements make sense to someone who has never done your job? Do your
statements answer the questions? Are your statements complete and accurate? A NARRATIVE REPORT FROM YOUR PHYSICIAN IS
REQUIRED. Reports on medical forms, such as Form CA-20, are rarely adequate in occupational disease cases.
NOTICE TO COMPENSATION SPECIALISTS AND SUPERVISORS
OWCP needs your help to improve the timeliness of adjudication of occupational disease cases. We have developed checklists
to help you and the employee submit a claim in an organized and complete manner. The checklists will help the claims examiner
identify what information has been submitted and what is still outstanding.
Whenever an employee wants to file a claim for occupational disease or illness, please give him or her:
1. Form CA-2. Federal Employees Notice of Occupational Disease and Claim for Compensation, and
2. Two copies of the checklist describing evidence required in support of the claim. One checklist is for the employee to
mark and return with the completed package. The second checklist is for the employee to take to the physician.
In addition to describing the evidence from the employee, the checklists describe the information to be submitted to by the
employing agency. When Form CA-2 and the employee's statements are returned, you are required by instructions on the CA-2 to
forward them to OWCP within ten working days. Statements and documents required from the agency should be submitted with
the CA-2 whenever possible. Please use the checklist to note what information from the employing agency is enclosed,
unavailable or pending. If pending, please give the anticipated mailing date. Agency comments, statements and documentation
are essential for the examiner to get a well rounded picture of the employment conditions.
We appreciate your cooperation in this effort.
