What Percentage Does OWCP Pay?

Your Guide to Federal Workers’ Compensation Benefits, with Support from Millennium Physical Therapy & Rehab in Bronx, NY

If you’re a federal employee who has suffered a work-related injury or occupational illness, you may be wondering: What percentage does OWCP pay? Understanding your benefits under the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) can help ease the stress of recovery and ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.

At Millennium Physical Therapy & Rehab in Bronx, NY, our credentialed OWCP doctors specialize in treating injured federal workers. We’re here to guide you through every step—from injury documentation and claims assistance to personalized, DOL-compliant rehabilitation care.

What Percentage of Wages Does OWCP Pay?

The percentage OWCP pays depends on your marital and dependent status, and whether you’re receiving temporary total disability (TTD) compensation while recovering and unable to work.

Here’s a breakdown:

  • 66 2/3% of your salary if you do not have any dependents
  • 75% of your salary if you have at least one dependent

These wage loss compensation payments are tax-free, making them more comparable to your regular take-home pay than they might appear at first glance.

OWCP Compensation Examples

Let’s say your average weekly wage is $1,200 before your injury:

  • If you have no dependents, OWCP pays $800 per week (66 2/3%).
  • If you have dependents, OWCP pays $900 per week (75%).

This compensation continues as long as your physician certifies that you’re medically unable to return to work.

What About Partial or Scheduled Awards?

In addition to temporary wage loss benefits, OWCP may also issue:

  • Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) awards, based on a schedule of injuries
  • Schedule Awards, which are determined by the percentage of permanent loss or impairment to specific body parts (e.g., arm, leg, eye)

These are paid separately and in addition to wage loss compensation, depending on your claim and medical evaluations.
