Registering with ECOMP
Registering with ECOMP (Employees’ Compensation Operations and Management Portal) allows federal employees to file workers’ compensation claims (CA-1/CA-2) online. Users must create an account on the official ECOMP site, ecomp.dol.gov, using a personal email and SSN, verify their identity, and select their agency to start initiating claims or uploading documents.
To register, click the link “Register” on the ECOMP home page under the login box. First, enter a good telephone number, preferably a cell phone number and email address. It is recommended that you use your personal email address. This address will be used to send notifications to you about forms you can file in ECOMP. You may want to create an email account specifically for your OWCP claims. You must also enter your social security number (SSN) and confirm it. When you file forms CA-1, CA-2 or CA-7 in ECOMP you will need to enter your SSN and it must match the one you entered in your account registration. Next, choose a password, which must be a minimum of 8 characters and contain at least one upper case letter, one lower case letter, one number and one special character. You will need to use this password, along with your email address, to sign into ECOMP.
ECOMP will send a message to your email address asking you to confirm your account registration. Click on the link within the email message to confirm your account and complete the registration process. You will then be taken to ECOMP and a message will be displayed confirming that your account has been created. After clicking OK, you may then sign into ECOMP using your email address and ECOMP password. After signing in, your Employee Dashboard will be displayed, which lists any forms you have filed in ECOMP. If you need to make any changes to your account settings, you may do so by clicking the Account link at the top of the page.
