In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5. U.S.C. 552a), you are hereby notified that (1) the Federal Employees Compensation
Act (FECA) as amended and extended (5 U.S.C. 8101, et seq.) and the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA), as amended
and extended (33 USC 901 et seq.) are administered by the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs of the U.S. Department of Labor, which
receives and maintains personal information on claimants and their immediate families. (2) Information which the Office has will be used to
determine eligibility for and the amount of benefits payable under the FECA and LHWCA and may be verified through computer matches or other
appropriate means. (3) Information may be given to the Federal agency which employed the claimant at the time of injury in order to verify
statements made, answer questions concerning the status of the claim, verify billing, and to consider issues relating to entitlement to benefits or
other relevant matters. (4) Information may be given to Federal, state, and local agencies for law enforcement purposes, to obtain information
relevant to a decision under the FECA and LHWCA to determine whether benefits are being paid properly, including whether prohibited dual
payments are being made, and, where appropriate, to pursue salary/administrative offset and debt collection actions required or permitted by the
FECA and LHWCA and/or the Debt Collection Act. (5) Failure to disclose all requested information may delay the processing of the claim or the
payment of benefits, or may result in an unfavorable decision or reduced level of benefits.
