Usps injury compensation program

If your doctor states you are not able to work and does the proper paperwork, they have to accept that, a counselor is not an M. On July 13th i was injured bon the job. I suffered from fractured ankle and multiple ligament tare. And cervical herniated disc I feel like my injuries prevent me from being productive worker as I once were. And to have a social lifestyle. I need my case approve, so that I can seek and continue proper treatment.

My mail goal is to be a diligent worker and to to live a pain free lifestyle. If the IME dr. I was not habing any problems the day before the injury. Is it in fact a law that they have to allow be a route.. My postmaster has not paid me for over 2months for she does not accept my drs. I thought that indeed it is law that if you have an accepted claim that the usps has to pay you. Who do I contact to get work comp claim number for an injured worker for medical billing?

May I please get the address and fax number for your subrogation department? I was injured a little over a week ago and called my supervisor after I got back to the truck after delivering a parcel. No documents were filed What are my options? Thank you for your message. The best thing to do would be to file an online complaint with our Hotline. This will allow us to look into the matter for you. Don't they have to send it to the owcp right away?

Does an employee from the injury compensation dept have the right to the tell the installation where I'm working at to challenge my claim or not? I was injured on the job and the hospital has sent the billing to Heather Tylor at Hampton Post office Three times with no response and know are sending it to my home address. I have contacted Hospital. Doesn't matter. Need to tell hospital to send the bills to OWCP. Make sure the hospital has you OWCP case number. I had that problem for over a year.

Finally got fixed. It's OWCP. Need to be patient and go through their process. I am a former USPS emplyee who was laid off from the holiday season. I had a legitimate claim which was approved but i still have yet to receive my injured workers pay which is only 20 days as i resigned so i could do something less strenuous. I call once a week and no one answers or returns my call.

When i do ask about my loss pay i get "We're working on it". How long does this process take? I feel as if I'm getting the run around and need to seek legal action. You should contact your employing agency to find out if they received your ca-1 and the documentation from your doctor,and also contact your union rep and let them know and file a grievance. A co-worker of mine was injured on the job and was off work a little over a month and was not given pay even though their claim was accepted.

The postmaster alleged that he falsified pprwrk for modified duty, so he filed with EEOC and also a grievance. He's also requested a transfer because Postmaster gives all new hires they don't like a hard time.

Why does his union contract prohibit him from acquiring an attorney? They finally gave him modified duty. EEOC rep has an attitude that he is at fault and wants to make sure he is willing to sign a medical release form so as to not waste her time.

Who can help him understand this unfair work comp system? You all have used up the bodies of the postal workers carrying heavy mail like mules and when it is time to take care of them, you want to change the rules. I see a lot of it, the workers are bullied, given misinformation, and then when they return to work on light duty, they are given a full load.

It's a ponzi scheme in a different manner. And while all this distraction is going on, there are workers stealing mail, throwing away mail, and their jobs are being given back to them because of the negotiations that go on There are reasons that injured employees should be required to changed over to retirement at age 55 or 62 and the tax advantage is one of them.

I have read many pointless comments about suing the USPS. All postal employees raised their hand and took a oath. If you wanted to have the same benefits [chuckles] as private industry, you should not have come to the Postal Service as you knew the benefits and the pitfalls.

I have reviewed other likewise pointless comments about how hard the employee worked and were injured [mostly because they failed to work safely in the first place] and somehow are entitled to FECA for the remainder of their life. NOT SO! Congress does need to give retirement credit to compensate injured employees for the time they have been off "through no fault of their own.

Come On Man! I do personally know allegedly injured people who are milking the system when they are able to do everything at home they claim they cannot do at work. They need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law because they are thieves. The abuse of the system is what need to change. If individuals on WC paid their taxes I might have more sympathy.

Just imagine what would happen if every non-injured employee to claim they are injured right before retirement so as not to have to pay taxes. There would be no Postal Service and the injured fake Jack A-- would have killed the golden goose.

The USPS needs so much help on everything That they believe for that for the cost of a first class stamp, 44 cents, they are entitled to full tracking and reimbursement of postage if item is not delivered, for whatever reason? HOW can the postal employee locate one first class mail item within the multitude of items because the mailer, A; misaddressed B: forgot the stamp C: didn't mean to mail They then insult the USPS by threatening to use FedEx or UPS in the future we wish they would , right up until they realize that that service will cost them far more than 44 cents Good plan citizens!

Have u never heard the phrase "you get what u PAY for"??! You are the same citizens that scream when we request an increase in first class postage We are not federally funded, and have been self-sufficient since We rely solely on the cost of postage and stamps to finance the USPS. Check with your congressman, please. We do not withhold your mail, we have no desire to keep your monthly bills, or checks, from you.

What would we do with them? We cannot cash them without committing forgery, and, really, is your product rebate worth prison time? Use common sense, and courtesy, when dealing with the USPS. You yell at us, we yell at you. You treat us with respect, you are respected.

Common sense people, you will get more with honey than with vinegar. Sorry wrong calculation I will wait until march 9th for full data to be released.

OK here's the math. The USPS' payroll is 49 billion multiply that by 7. Would you now like to switch to private insurance???? It is a legal document. They will pull your paystub for that pay-period to verify pay status, they should have documents already to verify that SL as being owcp IOD for an appt Keep in mind it is all a fixed game played with your leave and workers compensation in order to make you hurry back to your regular paycheck whether your ready or not.
