No-Cost Healthcare for Merrill Company, A.D. Facility Workers
The EEOICPA is a federal government program that provides compensation to former workers and contractors of the Department of Energy who were exposed to harmful chemicals, toxins, or high levels of radiation. It specifically covers the Arthur D. Little Co. facility in San Francisco, CA. Former workers who meet the eligibility criteria can receive health benefits and a lump-sum payment through the program.

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.
