D2 - Denied, Not a Civil Employee

Category: Denial

What it means:

Your claim has been denied because you were not a federal civilian employee at the time of injury.

If you believe this is an error, request reconsideration with evidence of your federal employment status at the time of injury.

Warnings/Important Notes:

Certain contractors, volunteers, and other non-federal employees are not covered under FECA.

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.
