Search Tips
- Keyword Search – Search for terms contained within the titles or descriptions of publications and data available on the CEO website.
- Help text: Can’t find what you are looking for? Here are some quick tips:
- For more specific results, use quotation marks around phrases.
- For more general results, remove quotation marks to search for each word individually. For example, minimum wage will return all documents that have either the word minimum or the word wage in the description, while "minimum wage" will limit results to those containing that phrase. If you search using an acronym (e.g., WIOA), try a second search with the acronym spelled out (e.g., “Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.”)
- Filters –Find publications and data by using filters to help narrow your results:
- Publication Date – Filter content by using a date range for when it was published.
- Topics – Filter content related to specific topics (e.g., Apprenticeships, Behavioral interventions, Community College, etc.)
- DOL Partner Agency – Filter content produced by CEO in partnership with other DOL agencies (e.g., Employment and Training Administration, Office of Disability Employment Policy, etc.)
- Research Methods – Filter content by specific research methods (e.g., survey, impact evaluation, cost analysis, etc.) used to produce it.
- Study Population – Filter by specific populations (e.g., adult workers, unemployed individuals, veterans, etc.)
- U.S. Regions – Filter by specific regions in the U.S.
- U.S. States – Filter by specific states in the U.S.
- Countries – Filter by specific countries outside of the U.S.

Portfolio Study Deliverable
On October 1, 2012, the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) introduced two new requirements for all cases within the Federal Employees’ Compensation Program (FECP). The first requirement is that within 28 days of the start of a worker’s participation in FECP disability management, OWCP must assign a field nurse to the case. The second requirement is that, for workers determined to be “totally disabled,” a second opinion evaluation is necessary if the case remains unresolved after 12 months.

In 2018, the Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) partnered with the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) and funded contractor Summit Consulting to conduct Return-to-Work Outcomes for Federal Employees in the Office of Workers’ Compensation Disability Management Program under the Administrative Data Research and Analysis portfolio of studies.
Secondary data analysis
The report provides descriptive statistics and associations between case characteristics (injury, claim, and claimant characteristics) and the outcomes of interest (return-to-work and disability management duration). Process diagrams and survival models complement the descriptive statistics. This report also assesses the similarities and differences in return-to-work rates and duration in disability management across case characteristics and timing and sequence of disability management services.
