EEOICPA White Card Program (Quick Overview)
EEOICPA = Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act
-
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) administers EEOICPA claims as part of the federal workers’ compensation system.
-
The program provides tax-free compensation up to $400,000 and free home healthcare for approved conditions to eligible people who worked for the Department of Energy (DOE) or under DOE contracts at approved facilities.

Often referred to as the "DOL White Card Program" or "EEOICPA White Card Program" because those who qualify receive a DOL-issued benefits card often referred to as a "White Card".

Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas.

Colorado
Colorado has 17 facilities covered by the EEOICPA White Card Program including the Rocky Flats Plant, which played a vital role in producing nuclear weapons parts, such as plutonium and uranium. Colorado is also a designated Uranium Worker State meaning certain uranium industry employment is covered under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) throughout the entire state.
Nevada
Nevada has 6 locations covered by the EEOICPA White Card program including the Nevada Test Site, also known as the Nevada National Security Site which was established in 1951 for testing nuclear weapons. Nevada also has 6 designated Downwinder Areas meaning certain counties downwind from the Nevada Test Site are covered under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA).
New Mexico
New Mexico has 18 facilities covered by the EEOICPA White Card program including the Los Alamos National Laboratory. New Mexico is also a designated Uranium Worker State meaning certain uranium industry employment is covered under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) throughout the entire state. Uranium mining played a large role from the early 1950s to the early 1980s.
South Carolina
South Carolina has 1 facility covered by the EEOICPA White Card program which is the Savannah River Site (SRS). This site performed multiple operations that played a vital role in the nuclear weapons complex including the production of plutonium and tritium. Many facilities were built at SRS to support these efforts and to address the resulting environmental impacts.
Georgia
Georgia does not technically have any EEOICPA facilities, but we serve this state due to the proximity of the Savannah River Site (SRS) located in Aiken, SC. This site performed operations that played a vital role in the nuclear weapons complex including the production of plutonium and tritium. Many facilities were built at SRS to support these efforts and to address the resulting environmental impacts.
Tennessee
Tennessee has 12 facilities covered by the EEOICPA White Card program including the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (X-10) which holds historical importance as one of the three original sites in the Manhattan Project. In order to advance the project, the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant (K-25) and Y-12 Plant were constructed to investigate various techniques for enriching uranium.
Texas
Texas has 6 facilities covered by the EEOICPA White Card program including Pantex which is the primary nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility originally built as a conventional bomb plant.
