Election of Benefits Options Sample Clauses

Election of Benefits Options. As a rule, three years is the time limit for initially filing an OWCP claim. It is to the employee’s advantage to file a claim immediately after becoming aware of a medical condition that was caused by work. OWCP (DOL), not the Department, decides if an employee has a compensable injury and what benefits he/she is entitled to under FECA. OWCP will notify the employee in writing when the claim has been received and OWCP has assigned a claim number. Pending the approval of the compensation claim, an employee with a job-related traumatic injury/illness or occupational disease may elect to be placed on sick or annual leave instead of leave without pay. If the employee’s claim is approved, the employee shall have the option of buying back any leave used and having it reinstated to the employee’s account. An employee with a job-related traumatic injury/illness may elect to receive 45 days of COP if the claim is filed within 30 days of the injury. The entitlement to COP is not available to employees who file an occupational disease claim. If the employee’s claim for compensation is disallowed by the DOL, OWCP, any of the 45 days of COP that were previously granted will be converted to sick leave, annual leave, and/or LWOP. The employee shall be responsible for advising the Department as to which form(s) of leave is/are requested and for completing an SF-71, Application for Leave, or its electronic equivalent.
