Understanding OWCP Status Codes

The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) uses a combination of codes to indicate the status of a claim:

Adjudication Codes (2 characters) - Indicate whether a case is accepted or denied (e.g., AP, D5)
Pay Status Codes (2 characters) - Indicate the type of payments authorized (e.g., MC, PR, PS)
Closure Codes (2 characters) - Indicate a case has been closed (e.g., C1, C5)

Your claim status can be found on ECOMP by logging into your account and viewing your case details, or on correspondence you receive from OWCP.
