OWCP Claims Status Decoder
Staring at a confusing OWCP status code? Enter your code below for a plain-language explanation of what it means, what action to take, and what deadlines or warnings apply to your FECA claim.
1 result for "PN"
What it means
You are on the periodic roll and OWCP has formally determined that you have no wage-earning capacity and no realistic prospect of re-employment for the indefinite future.
What to do next
You will receive regular payments automatically. Complete the annual CA-1032 and maintain current medical documentation on file with OWCP.
Important notes
Even with a no-wage-earning-capacity determination, you must still report any improvement in your condition or any employment — including part-time, volunteer, or self-employment.
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.
