The Office of Workers Compensation Programs (OWCP) had its origins in an organization established in 1916 to administer claims under the Federal Employees Compensation Act. Benefits are available under this Act to more than three million federal employees, members and the Peace Corp and Americorps * Vista volunteers.
Workersâ compensation laws first made an appearance in the United States in the early 1900s in response to concerns that employees injured at work were not being treated fairly â workers had little bargaining power and seldom prevailed in court against employers, which generally had the law on their side.
