OWCP/SS

     Benefit of OWCP Compensation Recipients to Obtain SS

    If you are on long term Federal Workers’ Compensation, a successful application for Social Security disability benefits will provide many meaningful benefits beyond OWCP benefits.  The benefits are as follows:

                           

      1. Benefits are payable to workers who become disabled before full retirement age.
      2. A severely disabled person may obtain benefits even though he/she is able to do some work.
      3. May be paid to children under age 18 and may continue to any age if the child is disabled before reaching age 22.
      4. If a worker dies, payments can go to certain survivors in the worker’s family.
      5. A lump-sum death payment may be payable when a worker dies.
