OWCP has been working on restoring a standalone CQS access and has now launched a new portal. CQS is a secure site
where injured workers may log in to view information on their case status,
compensation payments and compensation claim tracking. Access to CQS is now
available through a new site called OWCP Connect, which allows individuals with
existing claims under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA), to register
for an account and log in after authenticating their credentials.
Claimants may navigate to OWCP Connect by clicking here. If that link does not work for you paste the following into your browser https://owcpconnect.dol.gov/owcplogin/?site=cqs
During the account registration process, claimants must
prove their identity by validating information entered against secure Credit
Bureau data. Claimants will need to successfully answer questions posed by the
Credit Bureau about their credit history in order to verify their identity.
Information available to the credit bureau about an injured worker’s credit
history will be used for identity verification only, and this information will
not be saved or stored in OWCP records.
After a claimant’s identity has been authenticated, they
will create a password, security image, key phrase and security questions for
the account. Once an account has been created, the claimant may log into OWCP
Connect and access CQS by entering their OWCP case file number. A case may only
be accessed if the personal information associated with the OWCP Connect
account matches the information associated with the OWCP case file. Please note
that for federal agencies serviced by the National Finance Center (NFC), access
to CQS will continue to be available to injured workers by logging into NFC’s
Employee Personal Page.
