2-0802-15 Employees of the U.S. Property and Fiscal Officers (N. Guard)
15. Employees of the U.S. Property and Fiscal Officers (National Guard). All cases in this category
must contain a statement from the U.S. Property and Fiscal Officer (or from some other responsible and
knowledgeable official of the National Guard) certifying that the injured or deceased individual was a civil
employee of the U.S. paid from Federal funds, and at the time of injury was performing duties in a civilian
status. These agencies have been instructed to submit this certification with the original reports on Form
CA-1 or CA-2. It should be requested from the reporting agency if it is missing.
a. This certificate is required because these civilian caretakers and technicians serve in a dual
capacity:
(1) As members of the State National Guard in a military capacity, and
(2) As employees of the U.S. Property and Fiscal Officer in a civilian capacity. This
certification is prima facie proof that at the time of the injury, the injured or deceased
individual had status as an employee.
b. The CE may accept this certificate and affirmatively determine the employee's status on this
basis, unless the particular facts and circumstances of the case or other evidence creates doubt
whether the certification is correct. The CE should consult with the Senior CE or supervisor if it is
felt that certification is not valid.
2-0802-16 Employees Transferred to International Organizations
16. Employees Transferred to International Organizations. A Federal employee who transfers to an
international organization retains the coverage, rights and benefits of the FECA if, prior to the transfer,
the employee was serving under a Federal appointment not limited to one year or less, and the head of
the Federal agency consented to the transfer (see Pub. Law 85-795).
In any case of injury or death to a Federal employee after transfer to an international organization, the CE
should ask that the forms, reports, or certificates required of an official superior be completed and signed
by an appropriate official of the Federal agency which originally employed the claimant.
Alternatively, forms, reports, claims, etc., will be acceptable when completed by an official of the
international organization if they are either countersigned by an official of the Federal agency, or
accompanied by a certificate from the Federal agency confirming the employee's employment status and
duty status at the time of the accident.
Additionally, an appropriate official of the Federal agency should be asked to submit a statement showing
the following:
