[Workers' Compensation]
Energy Workers Seek Faster
Benefit Processing System
Energy workers exposed to radioactive
substances and their survivors
have spoken out for a speedier process
to obtain benefits under the
Energy Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act
(EEOICPA) of 2000. The EEOICPA was
intend to provide compensation
payment to energy workers and their
survivors by way of a lumpsum
payment and medical coverage for
certain diseases.
The complex benefit system has been
plagued by delays in processing
claims. The latest outcry has come
from workers of a uranium conversion
plant in Metropolis, IL, where 42
workers have died of cancer.
Ironically Metropolis was the
self-proclaimed hometown of the comic
book character, Superman.
The US Government Accountability Office
(GAO) issued a report in March
2010 recommending that additional
independent oversight should be
created. The report found that cases
that do not require dose
reconstruction take about a year to
process, but those that do require
it, may take up to 3 year to process.
