OWCP runs on paperwork. The right form, filed at the right time, with the right medical documentation, decides whether your federal workers' comp claim is accepted. The wrong form delays everything. Below is every form you might encounter — click through for filing details.

Not sure which form you need?

Most federal workers need a CA-1 (single-event injury) or CA-2 (cumulative condition) to start, plus a CA-16 for same-day care. Wage-loss claims use the CA-7. Your treating doctor handles the CA-17 and CA-20. Schedule a free consultation and we'll walk through the right paperwork for your situation.
