Office of Compensation Analysis and Support (OCAS)

Status of Your Dose Reconstruction

OCAS must abide by the requirements of the Privacy Act when we respond to requests for information about compensation claims. Under the provisions of the Privacy Act, we are able to provide information to the claimant or someone who has been authorized in writing by the claimant to discuss their claim (an authorized representative).

We have developed a Web-based form that allows claimants and their properly authorized representatives to request that a status report be mailed to the address that we have on file in our system. This status report is similar to the Dose Reconstruction Activity Reports that are currently mailed to claimants during the months of January, April, July, and October. We will mail the status report to the address we have on file for the individual requesting the status report.

Status information for a claim can also be obtained by sending an email request to our office at: ocas@cdc.gov. We also have Public Health Advisors (PHA) available to provide you with the current status of your claim. Please contact the appropriate PHA group based on the Department of Labor District Office where you filed your claim:

     Jacksonville, Florida District Office: 1-513-533-8425
     Cleveland, Ohio District Office: 1-513-533-8423
     Denver, Colorado District Office: 1-513-533-8426
     Seattle, Washington District Office 1-513-533-8424

Our office can also be reached through the NIOSH toll-free number: 1-800-35-NIOSH. If you have specific questions for our contractor, Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), they can be reached toll-free at 1-800-322-0111.
