Federal employees — did you know that OWCP covers custom orthotics at zero cost to you?

If you have an accepted work injury affecting your feet, knees, hips, or lower back, you may be entitled to Foot Levelers custom orthotics — the most advanced custom-made orthotics in the country — completely covered under FECA.

These aren't drugstore insoles. Foot Levelers are individually designed from a 3D digital scan of YOUR feet. They support all three arches of your foot, which stabilizes your entire body from the ground up.

Conditions Foot Levelers can help with:

→ Plantar fasciitis
→ Chronic low back pain
→ Knee and hip pain
→ Flat feet and fallen arches
→ Foot and ankle instability
→ Heel spurs

A published study found that Foot Levelers combined with chiropractic care improved function by 32% and reduced pain by 40% in patients with chronic low back pain.

At Federal Injury Centers of Knoxville, we provide Foot Levelers custom orthotics to our OWCP patients as part of their treatment plan. We handle the documentation. You handle the healing.

Zero cost to you. Zero paperwork headaches.

Call 865-415-2620 or visit owcptennessee.com to schedule your 3D foot scan.

Federal Employees - Know Your Rights! Here's Right #11
Federal employees — not every work injury is a single accident.

If your job caused a condition that built up over time — carpal tunnel, hearing loss, chronic back problems, chemical exposure — that's an occupational disease, and it's FULLY covered under FECA.

You file it on a CA-2, and you generally have three years from the time you realized the condition was related to your work.

The key to getting a CA-2 approved? Your doctor has to establish the causal link between your job and your condition. That's what we specialize in.

At Federal Injury Centers of Knoxville, our DOL-certified physicians know exactly how to build that connection — and document it the way OWCP requires.

IRS employees — you might not work in the field, but that doesn't mean your job can't hurt you.

Years of typing. Hours of sitting. Filing, lifting, bending. The pain builds slowly until one day you can't ignore it anymore.

Carpal tunnel. Neck and back pain. Shoulder strain. Slips and falls in the office. These are real injuries — and they're covered under FECA.

At Federal Injury Centers of Knoxville, we're the only Federal Injury Center in East Tennessee. Our DOL-certified physicians document your injury the way OWCP requires — so your claim gets approved, not sent back.

✅ 94% OWCP case approval rating

A desk job doesn't mean a safe job. If you're hurting, call us today at 865-415-2620 or visit owcptennessee.com

📋 OWCP Claim Checklist — Everything Federal Employees Need Before They File.

📌 Save this. Screenshot it. Share it with every federal employee you know.

Filing an OWCP claim is time-sensitive and documentation-heavy. Use this checklist to make sure you have everything ready:

✅ Before You File:
☐ Report your injury to your supervisor the same day
☐ Get the report in writing — not just verbal
☐ Identify the right form: CA-1 (traumatic) or CA-2 (occupational disease)
☐ Choose your own OWCP-experienced treating physician

✅ Information You'll Need:
☐ Exact date, time, and location of the injury or exposure
☐ Description of exactly what happened and how
☐ Names of any witnesses present
☐ Description of your job duties at the time

✅ Medical Documentation Required:
☐ Medical diagnosis from your treating physician
☐ Written statement: condition is "causally related to federal employment"
☐ Work restrictions from your physician in writing
☐ All treatment records, imaging, and test results

✅ Key Deadlines:
☐ Report injury same day
☐ File CA-1 within 30 days to preserve COP
☐ Agency forwards claim to OWCP within 10 business days
☐ File within 3-year statute of limitations

✅ What NOT to Do:
☐ Don't sign waivers of your FECA rights
☐ Don't let the agency choose your doctor
☐ Don't miss the 30-day COP deadline
☐ Don't discard any paperwork — keep copies of everything

🚨 Federal Employees: With Everything That's Happened in 2025–2026, Your OWCP Rights Are More Important Than Ever.

The federal workforce has experienced historic turbulence. Between January and November 2025, the federal government recorded over 335,000 separations — a 67% increase — with RIFs jumping from 46 in all of FY2024 to over 10,700 in 2025 alone.

If you've been injured on the job and you're worried about what workforce reductions, agency restructuring, or your employment status means for your OWCP claim — here's the truth:

✅ Your OWCP claim does NOT end if you are laid off, RIF'd, or separated.
OWCP is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor — not your agency. Your benefits continue regardless of your employment status.

✅ If you were injured before a RIF, your claim is still valid.
The injury happened while you were a federal employee performing your duties. That fact doesn't change because your position was eliminated.

✅ You can still file an OWCP claim after separation in many cases.
FECA allows claims to be filed within 3 years of the date of injury. If you were hurt and never filed — you may still have time.

✅ Don't let fear stop you from protecting your benefits.
Your injury happened. Your rights are protected. Act on them.

⚠️ One important note:
Statutory requirements prohibit the concurrent receipt of severance pay and certain FECA benefits. If you've accepted a separation package, call us immediately.

At Federal Injury Centers of Knoxville we are watching every development affecting federal employees — and we're here to make sure the current climate doesn't cost you the benefits you've earned.

September 11, 2026. Twenty-Five Years.

We remember.

We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on a Tuesday morning that changed America forever. The office workers who went to their desks and never came home. The passengers who boarded routine flights. The firefighters who ran toward the towers while everyone else ran out. The police officers. The paramedics. The Pentagon employees. The heroes of Flight 93 who chose courage in their final moments.

Twenty-five years later — we still feel it. We still carry it.

And we still see its legacy every single day in the men and women who chose to serve this country because of what happened on that morning.

The TSA officer at the airport checkpoint who shows up before dawn.
The Border Patrol agent securing a line others won't cross.
The federal law enforcement officer who puts on a vest before every shift.
The VA healthcare worker who cares for those still carrying wounds from that era.

These are the people Federal Injury Centers of Knoxville fights for — every single day. And on this day, we pause the work to simply say:

We see you. We honor you. We will never forget.

🇺🇸 In memory of the 2,977 souls lost on September 11, 2001.
🕯️ 25 years. Forever in our hearts.

TSA officers — every shift, you're lifting, standing, screening, and putting your hands on the line. Your body feels every hour of it.

❌ The 5 Biggest OWCP Mistakes Federal Employees Make — And How to Avoid Every One.

Every day, injured federal employees lose benefits they were legally entitled to — not because their injuries weren't real, but because of avoidable mistakes. Here are the 5 most costly:

❌ MISTAKE #1: Waiting Too Long to File
The 30-day CA-1 deadline isn't a suggestion — miss it and you lose Continuation of Pay. That's up to 45 days of full salary gone. File immediately.

❌ MISTAKE #2: Filing the Wrong Form
CA-1 = traumatic injury on a specific date. CA-2 = condition that developed over time. Filing the wrong form triggers delays and denials that can take months to correct.

❌ MISTAKE #3: Choosing the Wrong Doctor
OWCP requires precise medical documentation connecting your condition to your federal employment. Most general practitioners don't know this system. The wrong provider produces reports that get claims denied.

❌ MISTAKE #4: Assuming Pre-Existing Conditions Disqualify Them
If your job aggravated a pre-existing condition, that aggravation is compensable under FECA. Thousands of federal employees never file because they assume they can't win. Many of them would.

❌ MISTAKE #5: Giving Up After a Denial
A denial is NOT the end. You have 1 year to request reconsideration, 30 days for a hearing, and 180 days to appeal to the ECAB. Most denials happen due to documentation errors — not the injury itself.

At Federal Injury Centers of Knoxville we are built to prevent all five — and fix them when they've already happened.

✅ 94% OWCP case approval rating
✅ Zero out-of-pocket for qualified federal employees
