Care Under FECA for Postal Employees

USPS employees are federal workers, so work-related injuries are generally covered under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA), administered by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP). Chiropractic services under FECA are subject to program requirements.

Our team can explain your options and the paperwork involved. For more detail, see our Federal Workplace Injury page.
