Energy Employees Compensation: Labor Could Better Assist Claimants through Clearer Communication

Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Nov. 7, 2018
Release Date Dec. 7, 2018
Report No. GAO-19-90
Summary:

For decades, many government and contract workers building nuclear weapons were exposed to toxic substances. Since 2004, a Department of Labor program has provided $4.4 billion in compensation to those claiming exposure-related illnesses.

Earlier we found Labor's explanations of claim denials and the evidence needed to support a claim could be unclear. This could make it harder to refile denied claims.

This report found Labor ultimately approved many denied claims. From 2012 through 2017, it reopened 7,000 claims and approved 69% of them.

We recommended better training for claim reviewers on communicating what is needed to reopen a claim.
