Your Trusted Partner helping American Patriots pursue EEOICPA & RECA claims
YOU MAY BE ENTITLED UP TO $400,000 FOR A FEDERALLY FUNDED AND PRE-APPROVED CLAIM!
What Is EEOICPA?
The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) was created in 2000 by the U.S. government. Its purpose is to recognize and compensate workers (and their families) who got sick because they were exposed to radiation, toxic chemicals, or other hazardous materials while working for the Department of Energy (DOE), its contractors, or subcontractors.
Who Qualifies?
Department of Energy (DOE) - current and former employees and contractors who worked at DOE sites or were involved in nuclear weapon production, research, and testing.
Atomic Weapons Employers (AWE) – employees who worked at sites involving nuclear weapons components.
Top Benefits
Financial Compensation – Up to $400,000 in lump-sum payments depending on the type of claim and eligibility.
Medical Coverage – Full coverage for medical treatment related to the accepted illness (with no deductibles or copays).
Wage Loss Benefits – Payments for wages lost due to illness.
Survivor Benefits – Compensation to eligible family members if the worker is deceased.
Home Health Care – Coverage for nursing or caregiving services at home when the illness requires it.
✅ In short: EEOICPA exists to help sick nuclear and energy workers, and their families, get both money and medical care as recognition for the sacrifices they made in serving the nation’s defense.
What Is RECA?
The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) is a federal law enacted in 1990. It provides one-time lump-sum payments to individuals who developed certain serious illnesses after being exposed to radiation during U.S. nuclear weapons testing or while working in uranium mining, milling, or ore transportation.
Who Qualifies?
There are five main groups of people eligible:
Downwinders – individuals who lived in areas downwind of nuclear test sites.
Onsite Participants – workers who were directly on site during nuclear weapons tests.
Uranium Miners – individuals who mined uranium.
Uranium Millers – those involved in milling uranium.
Ore Transporters – individuals who transported uranium ore.
Top Benefits
Eligible applicants receive fixed lump-sum payments:
$50,000 for downwinders.
$75,000 for onsite nuclear test participants.
$100,000 for uranium miners, millers, and ore transporters.
The program presumes exposure if eligibility requirements are met, and any reasonable doubt is resolved in favor of the claimant.
Recent Update: Expansion Under the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' (July 4, 2025)
As part of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' (Public Law 119‑21), passed on July 4, 2025, RECA was expanded to include more individuals and geographic areas nationally. This expansion:
- Broadened eligibility to cover individuals from additional regions—such as Missouri, Tennessee, and others—who were previously excluded from RECA.
- Added more covered illnesses, helping more people who were impacted by nuclear exposure receive compensation.
✅ In a nutshell: RECA provides financial compensation to those harmed by radiation exposure from America’s Cold War-era nuclear programs. As of July 4, 2025, the law was significantly expanded to include many more people across additional regions and cover additional illnesses—offering hope and aid to individuals who were previously left out.
