Which group is covered under the Federal Employees Compensation Act?

The Federal Employees Compensation Act (FECA) is a federal law that provides wage-loss benefits, medical benefits, and vocational rehabilitation to federal employees who are injured on the job or contract a work-related illness. Among the groups listed, postal workers are indeed covered by FECA since they are considered federal employees.

The other groups mentioned, such as dockworkers, coal miners, and railroad workers, are covered under different acts or programs. For instance, dockworkers may be covered under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, coal miners are covered under the Black Lung Benefits Act, and railroad workers fall under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) which offers different provisions. This makes postal workers the correct answer, as their compensation and benefits fall directly under the jurisdiction of FECA.
