The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 makes it much easier for federal workers diagnosed with COVID-19 to establish coverage under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act.
Your COVID-19 diagnosis will be considered proximately caused by your federal employment if within 21 days of your diagnosis/positive test of COVID-19, you had carried out duties that either:
- required contact with patients, members of the public, or co-workers or
- included a risk of exposure to the novel coronavirus.

Federal employees: Even if you only had a mild case of COVID-19, or an asymptomatic infection with a positive test, you should consider filing a COVID-19 workers’ comp claim NOW.
Why? If you develop a consequential injury, impairment or illness later as a result of your COVID-19 diagnosis, and you wait until that time to file, your claim may be subject to a time limitation and you will have to establish both the initial COVID-19 claim and the consequential condition claim before benefits can begin.
