Warnings/Important Notes:

Continued failure to attend directed medical exams can result in denial of benefits.

DR - Daily Roll Payment

Category: Payment

What it means:

You are entitled to payment on the daily roll, which permits payment through the compensation management system.

What to do next:

Continue to submit CA-7 forms every 2 weeks to claim ongoing compensation.

Warnings/Important Notes:

This is used for finite periods of wage loss or leave buy-back, not for schedule awards paid in lump sum or cases on the periodic roll.

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.
