Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program
Welcome
The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation
Program Act (EEOICPA) was enacted to provide compensation
and medical benefits to employees who worked at certain
Department of Energy (DOE) facilities, including contractors
and subcontractors at those locations, and certain
of its vendors.
Adjudication of issues pertaining to all claims
for benefits under the EEOICPA is the responsibility
of the Department of Labor (DOL). The DOL is supported
in its role by the DOE, the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), and the Department of Justice
(DOJ).
If you would like more information about the benefits
available under the EEOICPA, please visit DOL's
web page or see the EEOICPA
pamphlet.
The DOL has also established Resource Centers around the country to provide
information about the EEOICPA and to assist the public
with claim filing. To locate the Resource Center nearest
you, please call toll free (866) 888-3322 or visit the
DOL's webpage on its Resource
Centers.
For those individuals who are seeking information
about the state workers compensation assistance program
that was administered by the DOE under Part D of EEOICPA,
that program was abolished in an amendment enacted
on October 28, 2004. The claims filed under the Part
D program have been transferred to DOL for consideration
to the benefits that are now available under Part
E. If you are seeking information about your claim,
please contact the DOL.
The DOE Role
The DOE provides worker and facility records and data to the DOL to help
in their decision-making and in support of the administration
of the EEOICPA. In addition, DOE maintains a list of facilities
covered under the EEOICPA. This list is published in the
Federal
Register and is periodically updated.
In addition to periodic publication of the list in the Federal Register,
the DOE also maintains the searchable Covered
Facility Database. This database contains
additional information pertaining to each of the facilities
noted in the Federal Register, including years of activity
and a general overview of what the facility did.
The Department welcomes comments or additional information
regarding the facilities covered under EEOICPA. When
new information supports new listings or expanded
time periods, updates are made accordingly. Contact
