Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA)
Employment & Coverage Terms
Definition
A completely separate workers' comp system covering federal government employees, administered by the U.S. Department of Labor rather than any state agency.
Why It Matters
If you work for the federal government, none of the state-specific rules on this site apply — FECA has its own distinct benefit structure and process entirely.
