Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) Statistics
Facilities designated as part of the Special Exposure Cohort, or SEC, often have a higher success rate for Part B and Part E claims. The increase in claims, and notably successful claims, can be seen in the following graph depicting paid claims at Hanford Engineer Works:
Some SEC facilities have far more claims than others. Below we have compiled some approximate data on Part B claims at SEC facilities for your review:
