SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Division of Federal Employees' Compensation (DFEC) administers
the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). A Federal employee who
sustains a work-related injury is entitled to receive compensation
under the FECA. 5 U.S.C. 8106 requires payment of compensation for
partial disability to injured Federal employees. This section also
requires the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) to obtain
information regarding a claimant's earnings during a period of
eligibility to compensation. The CA-1027 is used to obtain earning
information for an individual who is employed by a private employer.
This information is used to determine the claimant's entitlement to
compensation benefits.
See: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/owcp/FECA/regs/statutes/feca.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
