The Importance of the CA-10 Form for OWCP

The CA-10 form is titled “What a Federal Employee Should Do When Injured at Work.” It is an important document that provides federal employees with information on their rights and responsibilities when filing a workers’ compensation claim under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA).

The CA-10 form is especially important for federal employees who are going through the OWCP process because it explains the following:

• How to file a workers’ compensation claim with OWCP.
• Your rights and responsibilities as a claimant, such as the right to choose your own doctor.
• The benefits available to you under FECA, such as continuation of pay, compensation for lost wages, and medical care.
• The CA-10 form also includes a number of helpful resources, such as a list of OWCP district offices and contact information for OWCP claims representatives.

Here are some specific reasons why the CA-10 form is important when going through the OWCP process:

• It can help you to ensure that you are following the correct procedures when filing your claim.
• It can help you to understand your rights and responsibilities as a claimant.
• It can help you to identify the benefits that are available to you under FECA.
• It can help you to locate resources that can assist you with your claim.

Overall, the CA-10 form is an essential resource for federal employees who are going through the OWCP process. It is important to read and understand the information contained in this form so that you can protect your rights and ensure that you receive the benefits that you are entitled to.
