C4 C4 — Closed, COP Accepted, No Further Payments
Closure

What it means

Your case is closed. Continuation of Pay (COP) was accepted and your agency continued your full pay during your disability period. No further FECA compensation payments are anticipated.

What to do next

If your condition worsens or you experience a recurrence of the accepted injury, contact OWCP to reopen your case and file CA-7 for any new wage loss.

Important notes

Medical benefits for your accepted condition may still be available even after closure. Keep your OWCP case number for future reference.

Understanding OWCP Status Code Structure

OWCP claim status is displayed as a combination of two two-character codes — an adjudication code and a pay status code. For example: AP-PR means "Accepted, Periodic Roll."

  • Adjudication codes (A_, D_) — indicate whether the case is accepted or denied
  • Pay status codes (MC, PR, DR, PS, etc.) — indicate the type of payment authorized
  • Closure codes (C1–C5, CL, RT) — indicate the case is closed

Your full claim status can be found by logging into ECOMP and viewing your case details, or on written correspondence from OWCP.
