No-Cost Healthcare for EDM Exotics Workers
The EEOICPA, a federal government initiative, compensates former employees and contractors of the Department of Energy who faced exposure to hazardous chemicals, toxins, and elevated radiation levels. This program particularly includes the EDM Exotics facility in Hayward, CA. By fulfilling specific criteria, former workers at EDM Exotics can access health benefits and lump-sum payments through this program.
We provide no-cost in-home healthcare services to former energy workers who meet EEOICPA criteria. Furthermore, we offer assistance with the claims process, managing paperwork, and explaining the entire procedure.

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.
