Schedule Awards

A schedule award is a payment for permanent impairment of a specific body part. You may be eligible for a “schedule award” if you have suffered a permanent injury. To file a claim for a schedule award, you will need to complete a CA-7 in Employees’ Compensation Operations & Management Portal (ECOMP).

Filing CA-7 for a Schedule Award

The CA-7 must be filed electronically through the Employees’ Compensation Operations & Management Portal (ECOMP). If you do not already have an account, one must be created at http://www.ecomp.dol.gov. Please remember the following as you submit your claim:

  • A case number from the Department of Labor is needed in order to file a CA-7.
  • If you already have an ECOMP account, the case can be found in your Dashboard.
  • If you did not file your initial claim in ECOMP, you can choose the option “Start a new CA-7 based on a case not listed here” in the Dashboard.
  • You must provide your supervisor’s correct email address to grant him/her access to that portion of the form. 
  • You can upload medical documentation to the CA-7 claim in ECOMP. You must also send all medical documentation to Occupational Medical Services (OMS).
