The simple answer to this question is yes if you were exposed at work. Workers’ comp benefits will not cover exposures that occurred anywhere else besides your workplace. All federal employees who develop COVID-19 while performing their job duties are entitled to receive workers’ compensation coverage according to the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA). This act was put in place to help support federal workers who were injured on the job or, in the case of COVID-19, contracted a serious illness while fulfilling the requirements of their job.
