EEOICPA = Energy Employees Occupation­al Illness Compensati­on Program Act

-

The program was enacted by the U.S. Government in 2001 as a way to provide monetary compensati­on and medical benefits to former nuclear and uranium workers who developed an illness as a result of working at certain Department of Energy facilities where they were exposed to radiation and toxic substances. Most of the facilities dealt with either uranium or nuclear weapons manufactur­ing. EEOICPA makes it possible for qualifying workers to receive free medical care for conditions caused by working at a facility covered under this program during a specified time period.
