Who May Qualify for EEOICPA in Iowa?
The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) is a federal program designed to support energy workers who became ill as a result of work-related exposure tied to covered Department of Energy facilities or qualifying DOE-related activities. Eligibility depends on where and when you worked, the nature of your role, and your medical diagnosis.
In Iowa, individuals who worked at Ames Laboratory or in contractor or subcontractor roles supporting Department of Energy or nuclear defense–related activities — including work performed at facilities such as the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant, depending on employer, role, and timeframe — may qualify if they later developed a covered illness related to occupational exposure. Covered conditions can include certain cancers, chronic silicosis, beryllium sensitivity, or chronic beryllium disease.
If you are unsure whether EEOICPA applies to you, you are not alone. Our team is here to listen, provide clarity, and help you understand whether support may be available — so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

Who We Are
United Energy Workers Healthcare was born from family roots in the uranium mines of Blanding, Utah, where the long-term impact of exposure was felt firsthand.

For more than a decade, we have been honored to serve energy workers and their families across Iowa, standing beside them with purposeful, in-home care that supports dignity, independence, and life at home. What began as a promise to care for our own has grown into a trusted commitment to energy workers nationwide.
