If you’re a federal employee receiving workers’ compensation benefits through the Department of Labor’s Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP), it’s essential to stay informed about your responsibilities to maintain those benefits. One key requirement is the annual submission of Form CA-1032, also known as the “Request for Information on Earnings, Dual Benefits, and Dependents.”
What is Form CA-1032?
Form CA-1032 is a mandatory form that OWCP requires injured federal workers to complete every year if they are receiving continuing wage-loss compensation benefits (also known as temporary total disability or partial disability benefits). The form is used to:
- Report any employment or self-employment income
- Disclose any dual benefits (such as SSA disability)
- Confirm dependent status (spouse, children, etc.)
- Reaffirm entitlement to compensation
This form helps OWCP verify that claimants remain eligible for ongoing benefits under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA).
Why Is Form CA-1032 Important?
Failure to complete and return Form CA-1032 in a timely manner can result in the suspension of benefits. Additionally, inaccurate or incomplete information—especially regarding earnings—can trigger investigations and potential overpayment recovery or fraud charges.
That’s why it’s crucial to:
- Complete the form honestly and accurately
- Return it within 30 days of receipt
- Update your OWCP case file with any changes
Who Receives Form CA-1032?
Form CA-1032 is typically mailed annually to federal employees:
- Receiving ongoing compensation for wage loss (not for schedule awards or medical-only cases)
- Who are not currently employed by the federal government
- Who have passed the initial claim approval and are under long-term OWCP case management
