Federal forms

Paperwork shouldn't decide your future. We make sure it doesn't.

Federal workers' compensation runs on documents. Miss a date, leave a field blank, or use the wrong language — and a legitimate claim can stall for months. We do the paperwork with you, not for you.

CA-1

Notice of Traumatic Injury

When to use: An injury caused by a single workday event — a fall, a lift, a vehicle accident.

Deadline: File within 30 days to preserve continuation-of-pay rights.

How we help
  • Identify the witness section requirements
  • Document mechanism of injury clearly
  • Submit through ECOMP correctly
  • Coordinate with your supervisor
CA-2

Notice of Occupational Disease

When to use: Conditions developed over time — repetitive motion, hearing loss, exposure-related illness, stress conditions.

Deadline: File within 3 years of awareness that the condition is work-related.

How we help
  • Build the causal-relationship narrative
  • Gather employment exposure history
  • Coordinate physician statements
  • Avoid the most common denial reasons
CA-17

Duty Status Report

When to use: Your physician completes this to communicate restrictions and capabilities to your agency.

Deadline: Provide to your agency promptly; update with each medical visit.

How we help
  • Translate medical restrictions clearly
  • Match restrictions to your real duties
  • Push back on unrealistic light-duty offers
  • Track every revision
FMLA

Family & Medical Leave Act

When to use: Job-protected unpaid leave (up to 12 weeks) for serious health conditions, including those that overlap with workers' comp.

Deadline: Notify your employer 30 days in advance when foreseeable; as soon as practicable otherwise.

How we help
  • Coordinate FMLA + OWCP timelines
  • Complete WH-380-E correctly
  • Protect your benefits & seniority
  • Plan your return-to-work conversation

Bring us your packet — or start from zero.

Whether you're staring at a blank ECOMP screen or holding a rejection letter, our team will meet you where you are.
