Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program

Over 95,000 Workers, $10.6 Billion in Compensation Awarded

Where did you work?

To help workers becoming sick from their employment at nuclear weapons production plants across the United States, congress created the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA).

Machinist members may be eligible for up to $400,000 in tax-free payments and medical coverage. A lot of workers still haven’t heard for the EEOICPA program despite over $10 Billion in claims being paid as of 2014.

Criteria for Eligibility

International Association of Machinists members who were employed at a recognized nuclear production Department of Energy facility (employees, contractors & sub-contractors) and became sick due to a work-related illness may be eligible for compensation. Survivors of deceased workers may also be eligible for compensation.

Medical Benefits and Compensation

The Energy Employees Compensation Program (EEOICPA) has two separate benefits programs:

• Part B
  • $150,000 lump sum, tax-free payment
  • Workers can also receive a variety of medical benefits to help cover costs associated with their illness
  • For deceased workers, surviving family members are eligible for $150,000 and old medical bill compensation
• Part E
  • Up to $250,000 for living workers based on impairment ratings and wage-loss compensation
  • Living workers will receive full medical benefits for treatment of their work-related illness
  • Survivor claims are eligible for $125,000 to $175,000 & coverage of past medical bills

**You can file a claim under both Part B & E with a maximum total payout of $400,000. There is no limit on reimbursement for medical expenses
