The purpose of this legislation, known as the "FECA Modernization and Cost Containment Act of 2026," is to update and improve the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). The main goals are to enhance the outcomes for federal workers who are injured on the job, reduce the costs associated with their care, and address issues related to fraud within the compensation system. Key provisions of the Act include the requirement for federal agencies to use managed care networks for the medical treatment of injured employees, except in emergencies.
