OWCP Schedule Awards. If you’ve got a permanent impairment from a work injury, this could mean a lump-sum payout to help with the long haul. We’ll break it down for you injured feds: Who’s eligible? What’s the filing process? And what’s this “impairment rating” everyone’s talking about? Plus, we’ll touch on how this plays out for our maritime folks under Longshore—because OWCP covers more than just office desks and mail routes. Stick around; by the end, you’ll know exactly how to get what’s yours.

Alright, let’s start with the basics—who’s eligible for an OWCP Schedule Award under FECA, the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act? Picture this: You’re a fed employee, you’ve had a work-related injury or illness that’s left you with a permanent hit to a specific body part or function. We’re talking arms, legs, hands, eyes, hearing, even lungs or your back if it’s messing with your extremities. If that impairment sticks around even after years of treatment as a permanent injury you would qualify and be eligible for a schedule award settlement with OWCP.
