What is “FECA”?
FECA. stands for Fully Enclosed Covered Area. This is the measure of the sum of all such areas at each building floor levels, including basements (except unexcavated portions), floored roof spaces and attics, garages, penthouses, enclosed porches and attached enclosed covered ways alongside buildings, equipment rooms, lift shafts, vertical ducts, staircase and any other fully enclosed spaces and useable floor areas of the building. This is calculated by measuring from the normal inside face of exterior walls (ie excluding the wall thickness) but ignoring any projections such as plinths, columns, piers and the like which project from the normal inside face of exterior walls.
“FECA” is the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act. If you are a federal employee who has sustained an on-the-job injury, FECA entitles you to receive: Medical care, Lost wages, Schedule award for a permanent injury to specific limbs or organs. As a federal employee, you likely already have health insurance through your job or pension; however, under FECA there is no co-pay. Additionally, traditional health insurance often limits how much treatment you are allowed to receive, whereas FECA frequently provides more physical therapy and other treatments because the goal of the program is to return you to some sort of employment.
