Your Local EEOICPA Guide:
Melody Rick, Benefits Advisor
“Many former workers at the Savannah River Site are unaware of the EEOICPA White Card and the care options available to them. It’s incredibly rewarding to help individuals not only understand these benefits, but also support White Card holders in transitioning their in-home care to United Energy Workers Healthcare, where they can receive whole-person care delivered with unwavering compassion. Helping people in the Central Savannah River Area make this connection can truly elevate their lives and make a meaningful difference in their lives.”

Who May Qualify for EEOICPA in South Carolina?
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 at covered Department of Energy facilities. Eligibility depends on where and when you worked, your role, and your medical diagnosis.
In South Carolina, individuals who worked at DOE facilities such as the Savannah River Site, or for covered contractors or subcontractors, 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, dignity, 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. That personal history shaped our purpose and our mission: to elevate the lives of energy workers with unwavering compassion and whole-person care. For more than a decade, we have been honored to serve energy workers and their families across Tennessee, 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.
