New EEOICPA Rule: Diagnoses After 1995 May Now Be Valid

If you or a loved one worked at a DOL Approved site after 1995, you may be eligible for EEOICPA Compensation. If you have not submitted a claim, or were previously denied, contact our firm today to see how we can help.

The Department of Labor recently rescinded a policy denying most claims after 1995 based on the assumption that chemical exposure decreased that year. The former policy was established in 2014 by Circular No 15-06. Thanks to the recommendation by the Advisory Board on Toxic Substances and Worker Health, the policy was rescinded. This is one of many changes the Advisory Board has assisted in changing.

What The New Law Means

• If you worked at a DOL Approved Site after 1995, you are now subject to the same burden of proof as all other claims
• You must have worked at least 250 days at one of the approved sites
• You must have developed one of the approved cancers
• Typically, you will be eligible for Part E funding
