Which Federal Workers Compensation Law provides coverage for postal workers?

Federal Employer Liability Act
Jones Act
Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act
Federal Employees’ Compensation Act

The correct answer is: Federal Employees’ Compensation Act

The Federal Employees’ Compensation Act provides coverage specifically for federal employees, including postal workers. This law is designed to offer wage loss compensation, medical benefits, and other support for federal workers who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. It establishes a comprehensive compensation system that mandates federal agencies, such as the postal service, to provide their employees with the necessary support and benefits in the event of a work-related incident. The other laws mentioned apply to different categories of workers or circumstances. The Federal Employer Liability Act primarily covers railroad workers, while the Jones Act applies to maritime workers who are injured at sea. The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act is aimed at longshoremen and workers involved in maritime employment, particularly around harbors and shipping yards. Each of these laws serves distinct groups and does not extend to postal workers, highlighting why the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act is the correct choice for this question.
