What Are EEOICPA Benefits?
From the early days of the Manhattan Project to today, more than a million Americans have contributed to our nation’s nuclear defense through their contributions in the nuclear weapons complex. Often exposed to toxic substances on the job — like radiation and heavy metals — many developed serious illnesses and health conditions that require resources and medical care to manage.
To honor their service, the federal government established the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) in 2001.
This program offers:
- Up to $400,000 in financial compensation
- Life-long, no-cost medical benefits for qualifying illnesses
If you’ve been diagnosed with a chronic illness, cancer, or kidney disease linked to your work in the nuclear weapons complex facility, you may qualify.
What Is the DOL White Card + What Does It Cover?
The White Card issued by the Department of Labor provides full medical coverage with no out-of-pocket costs for eligible patients. It works like a health insurance card but without copays, deductibles, or premiums.
Your White Card covers:
- Ongoing, no-cost medical treatment for your approved condition(s)
- In-home skilled nursing care
- Durable medical equipment
- Doctor visits and copays
- Prescription medications
- Transportation
- Home modifications
We also support families and caregivers, offering clear EEOICPA guidance so they can confidently advocate for your care and compensation.
