Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act – (PART TWO)

Part 2 of the Longshore Workers Compensation Podcast

How do I file a claim for Longshore compensation?
In addition to the Notice of Injury given to your employer, you should file a written claim with the OWCP within one (1) year after the date of injury; or, if the employer has been voluntarily paying compensation benefits, you should file a written claim within a year of the last payment of compensation. You should use Form LS-203, Employee’s Claim for Compensation, to file your written claim.

What is my responsibility to report the injury?
You must give a written notice of injury to the employer within 30 days of the occurrence of the injury or within 30 days of when you become aware that you have an injury or disability related to the employment. You should use Form LS-201, Notice of Employee’s Injury or Death, for this purpose.

How do I contact my Claims Examiner?
You can call the District Suboffice that maintains your case file to speak with your Claims Examiner. Office contact information can be found in the Contact Us section on our website. See FAQ 18 and 19 for more information on determining where a case is located.

You may also submit a written inquiry to the following address: U. S. Department of Labor, Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, Division of Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation, 400 West Bay Street, Suite 63A, Box 28, Jacksonville, FL 32202.
Where should I submit case file documents?
If you already have an OWCP file number, you can use Longshore’s Secure Electronic Access Portal (SEAPortal), located at https://seaportal.dol.gov The SEAPortal is a web-based application (This is ECOMP for LONGSHORE) This can be used by you, or your doctor. You simply need the OWCP case number and the injured worker’s last name, date of birth and date of injury.
