D2 D2 — Denied, Not a Federal Civilian Employee
Denial

What it means

Your claim was denied because OWCP determined you were not a federal civilian employee covered under FECA at the time of injury.

What to do next

If you believe this is an error, request reconsideration with documentation proving your federal employment status at the time of the injury — such as your SF-50, pay stubs, or agency identification.

Important notes

FECA covers most federal civilian employees, but certain contractors, volunteers, and temporary workers may not qualify. Verify your employment status in the OWCP system.

Understanding OWCP Status Code Structure

OWCP claim status is displayed as a combination of two two-character codes — an adjudication code and a pay status code. For example: AP-PR means "Accepted, Periodic Roll."

  • Adjudication codes (A_, D_) — indicate whether the case is accepted or denied
  • Pay status codes (MC, PR, DR, PS, etc.) — indicate the type of payment authorized
  • Closure codes (C1–C5, CL, RT) — indicate the case is closed

Your full claim status can be found by logging into ECOMP and viewing your case details, or on written correspondence from OWCP.
