A quick definition of Office of Workers' Compensation Programs:

The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) is a part of the U.S. Department of Labor that helps workers who have been injured on the job. They process and decide on claims for benefits under different laws that protect workers, like the Federal Employees' Compensation Act and the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. OWCP is there to make sure that workers get the help they need when they get hurt while working.

A more thorough explanation:

The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) is a division of the Employment Standards Administration in the U.S. Department of Labor. Its main responsibility is to process and decide on claims made under various worker-benefits statutes and regulations, such as the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, and the Black Lung Benefits Reform Act.

For example, if a federal employee gets injured on the job, they can file a claim with OWCP to receive compensation for their medical expenses and lost wages. OWCP will review the claim and make a decision on whether to approve or deny it.

OWCP is an important resource for workers who have been injured or become ill due to their job. It helps ensure that they receive the benefits they are entitled to under the law.
