OWCP Claims Status Decoder
Staring at a confusing OWCP status code? Enter your code below for a plain-language explanation of what it means, what action to take, and what deadlines or warnings apply to your FECA claim.
1 result for "C1"
What it means
Your FECA case is closed. The condition was accepted as work-related but you did not lose any time from work and no compensation was paid.
What to do next
No action needed unless your condition worsens. You can still submit related medical bills for payment. If you later experience disability due to this accepted condition, contact OWCP to reopen your case.
Important notes
Keep documentation of your accepted condition. If you later file a recurrence, having the original case number and acceptance on record is important.
Understanding OWCP Status Code Structure
OWCP claim status is displayed as a combination of two two-character codes — an adjudication code and a pay status code. For example: AP-PR means "Accepted, Periodic Roll."
- Adjudication codes (A_, D_) — indicate whether the case is accepted or denied
- Pay status codes (MC, PR, DR, PS, etc.) — indicate the type of payment authorized
- Closure codes (C1–C5, CL, RT) — indicate the case is closed
Your full claim status can be found by logging into ECOMP and viewing your case details, or on written correspondence from OWCP.
