1 result for "D4"
What it means
Your claim was denied because OWCP determined the injury did not occur while you were performing your official federal duties.
What to do next
Submit evidence showing that the injury occurred during the performance of your job: your position description, work orders, supervisor statements, or documentation showing the activity was work-related or directed by your agency.
Important notes
Injuries during commuting, unauthorized breaks, purely personal activities, or activities outside the scope of your position are generally not covered. However, injuries at agency-sponsored events, while on travel, or during activities that benefit the agency may be covered.
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.
