You may request reconsideration with evidence showing the claim was timely filed or that there was a reasonable excuse for the delay.

Generally, claims must be filed within 3 years of the date of injury, or within 3 years of when you first became aware of the condition's relationship to your employment.

Understanding OWCP Status Codes

The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) uses a combination of codes to indicate the status of a claim:

  • Adjudication Codes (2 characters) - Indicate whether a case is accepted or denied (e.g., AP, D5)
  • Pay Status Codes (2 characters) - Indicate the type of payments authorized (e.g., MC, PR, PS)
  • Closure Codes (2 characters) - Indicate a case has been closed (e.g., C1, C5)

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