No-Cost Healthcare for Grand Junction Operations Workers
The EEOICPA is a federal compensation program for former Department of Energy employees and contractors who were exposed to harmful chemicals, toxins, and heavy metals with high levels of radiation. The Grand Junction Operations Office in Grand Junction, CO is one of the facilities covered by the EEOICPA. Former Rocky Flats workers can obtain lump-sum payments and health benefits if they satisfy a specific set of criteria.

In order to be eligible for EEOICPA/RECA benefits, an individual must have been employed at a covered Department of Energy facility, an approved atomic weapons facility, or at a permitted beryllium vendor. An individual must also have one of the covered conditions as a result of exposure to radiation, beryllium, or silica while employed at an accepted facility. In addition, uranium miners, millers, and ore transporters are eligible for benefits if they develop an illness as a result of exposure to toxic substances (such as radiation, chemicals, solvents, acids, and metals) and worked at a facility covered under RECA. Eligibility requirements vary by location and condition.
