COP is the continuation of your regular pay check uninterrupted for 45 days rather than being paid for time off of work through OWCP.  This entire podcast 2 part COP series is about being paid while off of work for the first 45 days rather than your employer wrongly using and not reimbursing YOU the injured worker for your LEAVE!

If an employee returns to work following a work stoppage without using all 45 days of COP and then suffers a recurrence of disability within 45 days from the first Return To Work date, the employee is entitled to use the remainder of the 45 days.5. To controvert the claim, the agency must complete the indicated portion of Form CA-1 and submit detailed information in support of the controversion to the OWCP.6. An YOUR EMPLOYER’s objection to paying COP for one of nine reasons provided by regulation is called “controversion”.  COP may be controverted only if one of the nine reasons apply.7.
