How to File an OWCP DOL Form - Introduction to the ECOMP Claims Process

Reporting a workplace incident and filing a claim for compensation require different forms, depending upon your employment status and government organization. Not all government agencies use ECOMP for form filing. You can check to see what forms your agency files through ECOMP by clicking "Register" from the ECOMP homepage and then selecting your employing government organization.
If your agency uses ECOMP for form filing, you will be able to manage the entire process from your Employee Dashboard. You can get to your Employee Dashboard by clicking "Sign In" on the ECOMP homepage. Lately I am seeing more and more employee agencies utilizing ECOMP portal for E-filing of CA-1 & Ca-2 forms for establishing a case. We have been using paper CA forms and uploading them into ECOMP …forever but now many employers like for example the VA require that you fill out the CA forms online on the portal. So I want to walk you through some of these new online filing requirements.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR CQS USERS: Starting April 27th, CQS will be integrated directly into the Employees' Compensation Operations and Management Portal (ECOMP) and will be decommissioned as a standalone system. If you do not already have an ECOMP account, please register for one to access this information.
Once a case number has been assigned, you can submit information pertaining to that case file through ECOMP's Document Upload feature, available from the ECOMP homepage. To use this feature, you will need your last name, case number, date of birth and date of injury. Click on PODCAST Transcript for more information...
