ECOMP - Electronic Document Submission DEEP DIVE
Do I need to register with ECOMP in order to electronically upload a document?
You do NOT need to register in ECOMP. All you need to upload a document is the case number, as well as the claimant’s last name, date of birth and date of injury.
Can I file a form using the Electronic Document Submission process in ECOMP?
Forms should not be submitted via the “upload document” feature in ECOMP. If your agency enrolls in ECOMP for electronic form filing, you may be able to register and then use the “file a form” portion of ECOMP. If your agency is not enrolled in ECOMP, you will receive a message telling you so and you should contact your agency for instructions on how to file a claim form.
This podcast is a deep dive of ECOMP and how to navigate the ECOMP system and how to find or upload documents that are relevant and how to use and search for docs on ECOMP.
ECOMP is a website login portal that provides federal agencies with an electronic system for recording workplace injuries and illnesses, and processing claims under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). Once you register and verify your identity in ECOMP, you will have access to case information and letters from OWCP.
