What Does ECAB Stand For?

ECAB stands for Employees Compensation Appeals Board

The Employees Compensation Appeals Board (ECAB) is an independent adjudicatory body that hears and resolves appeals related to workers' compensation claims under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act. It reviews decisions made by the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, ensuring fair and impartial adjudication of disputes, and aims to uphold the rights of federal employees receiving compensation for job-related injuries or illnesses. The ECAB's decisions are binding and play a crucial role in the administration of federal workers' compensation programs.
