Disclaimer

Last updated: May 22, 2026

Summary: EasyFedWorkComp.com is an independent educational resource for federal employees. It is not a law firm, medical provider, or government website. Nothing on this site constitutes legal or medical advice. Tools and calculators provide estimates only — all final determinations are made by OWCP. This site is not affiliated with the Department of Labor, OWCP, or any federal agency.

Informational Purposes Only

All content on EasyFedWorkComp.com — including tools, calculators, guides, templates, and status code descriptions — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, no representation or warranty of any kind is made regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of any information on the site.

Not Legal Advice

Nothing on this site is legal advice. Legal advice requires applying law to an individual's specific facts and circumstances by a licensed attorney. The tools, templates, and guides on EasyFedWorkComp.com are designed to help federal employees understand the FECA process — they are not substitutes for advice from a qualified attorney who specializes in federal workers' compensation.

Use of this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. Communications through this site are not protected by attorney-client privilege.

Not Medical Advice

Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Medical evidence checklists and related tools are intended to help claimants understand what OWCP requires in physician reports — they are not medical guidance. Always consult a qualified physician or healthcare provider for medical decisions.

Calculators and Tools Are Estimates Only

Results from the schedule award calculator, leave buy back calculator, overpayment repayment estimator, and all other tools are estimates based on the formulas and inputs provided. Actual amounts, timelines, and outcomes are determined by OWCP and may differ based on your specific case facts, applicable pay rates, and other factors not captured by these tools.

No Guarantee of Claim Outcome

Nothing on this site guarantees approval of a workers' compensation claim, a specific award amount, a particular appeal outcome, or any other result. Federal workers' compensation claims involve complex factual and legal determinations made by OWCP and, on appeal, by the Branch of Hearings and Review or the Employees' Compensation Appeals Board (ECAB).

Independence — No Government Affiliation

EasyFedWorkComp.com is an independent site and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to the U.S. Department of Labor, the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP), ECAB, or any other federal, state, or local government entity. Information on this site does not represent official government positions or interpretations.

External Links

This site links to external websites including official government resources. We do not control the content of external sites and cannot guarantee their accuracy, currency, or availability. Links are provided for convenience only and do not imply endorsement.

Errors and Updates

Federal workers' compensation law, OWCP procedures, and the FECA Procedure Manual change over time. While we make reasonable efforts to keep content current, we cannot guarantee that all information reflects the most recent rules or procedures. Always verify critical information against official OWCP sources or consult a qualified professional.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, EasyFedWorkComp.com and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on the information, tools, or resources provided on this site. This includes direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. Because the site is provided free of charge, this limitation is particularly appropriate.

Professional Consultation

For anything beyond general education, we strongly encourage you to:

  • Consult a licensed attorney specializing in FECA and federal workers' compensation for legal questions about your specific claim
  • Work with your treating physician and, where appropriate, an occupational medicine specialist for medical documentation
  • Contact your OWCP district office directly for official information about your case
  • Speak with your union representative if you are a union member — many federal unions have experienced OWCP representatives available at no cost

Questions

If you have questions about this disclaimer or believe any information on the site is inaccurate, please contact us — we take accuracy seriously and will review and correct errors promptly.
