Frequently Asked Question

Can you draw OWCP Federal Workers’ Compensation and Federal Disability Retirement at the same time?

# Back to all FAQs

While it’s possible to be approved for both benefits at the same time, you will need to decide which is more beneficial to you. That’s because, you can’t receive OWCP Wage Loss and the Federal Disability Retirement annuity at the same time. However, you can receive a Schedule Award alongside the Federal Disability Retirement Benefit.
