This bill, known as the Federal Workers' Compensation Integrity and Care Act, aims to strengthen the integrity of the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) program. It grants the Secretary of Labor new authority to access critical earnings and employment information from other federal agencies without requiring employee authorization or notice, specifically to detect and prevent improper payments . Upon written request, the Commissioner of Social Security will provide employee earnings and Social Security benefit payment information, while the Secretary of Health and Human Services will make available relevant data from the National Directory of New Hires. This information will be provided timely and at no cost to the Department of Labor. To facilitate this, the bill mandates the Secretary of Labor to establish memoranda of understanding with both agencies within 90 days, detailing the data exchange. The Secretary must also develop procedures to correlate the obtained information with FECA program recipients, ensuring effective oversight.
