PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
We are authorized by OWCP to ask you for information needed in the administration of the FECA, Black Lung and EEOICPA
programs. Authority to collect information is in 5 USC 8101 et seq.; 30 USC 901 et seq.; 38 USC 613; E.O. 9397; and 42 USC
7384d, 20 CFR 30.11 and E.O. 13179. The information we obtain to complete claims under these programs is used to identify
you and to determine your eligibility. It is also used to decide if the services and supplies you received are covered by these
programs and to ensure that proper payment is made. Your response regarding the medical service(s) received or the amount
charged is required to receive payment for the claim. See 20 CFR §§ 10.801, 30.701, 725.406, 725.701, and 725.704. Failure to
furnish information regarding the medical service(s) received or the amount charged will prevent payment on the claim. The
information may also be given to other providers of services, carriers, intermediaries, medical review boards, health plans, and
other organizations or Federal agencies, for the effective administration of Federal provisions that require other third-party payers
to pay primary to Federal programs, and as otherwise necessary to administer these programs. For example, it may be
necessary to disclose information about the benefits you have used to a hospital or doctor. Additional disclosures are made
through routine uses for information contained in systems of records. See Department of Labor systems DOUGOVT-1,
DOUESA-5, DOL/ESA-6, DOU ESA-29, DOL/ESA-30, DOL/ESA-43, DOL/ESA-44, DOUESA-49 and DOL/ESA-50 published in
the Federal Register, Vol. 67, page 16816, Mon. April 8, 2002, or as updated and republished. You should be aware that P.L.
100-503, the "Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988," permits the government to verify information by way of
computer matches.
NOTICE
If you have a substantially limiting physical or mental impairment, Federal disability nondiscrimination law gives you the right to
receive help from OWCP in the form of communication assistance, accommodation and modification to aid you in the claims
process. For example, we will provide you with copies of documents in alternate formats, communication services such as sign
language interpretation, or other kinds of adjustments or changes to account for the limitations of your disability. Please contact
our office or your claims examiner to ask about this assistance.
