This report compares (1) monetary benefits authorized by the act with those authorized by other workers' compensation laws and (2) other significant benefit provisions of federal and state workers' compensation laws, such as those involving waiting periods, physician choice, and coverage of occupational diseases. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GGD-96-76/html/GAOREPORTS-GGD-96-76.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GGD-96-76/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GGD-96-76.pdf GAO/GGD-96-76 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GGD-96-76 Letter Report GAO/GGD-96-76; Workers' Compensation: Selected Comparisons of Federal and State Laws; Workers compensation Disability benefits Federal employees State programs State law Labor law Federal employee disability programs Compensation claims Dependents Employee medical benefits Title 5 Section 8101et seq. 5 U.S.C. 8101et seq.
