Dept. of Labor To Host Nuclear Weapons Worker Outreach Events in New Mexico

By ExchangeMonitor
The U.S. Department of Labor has scheduled outreach events for next week in New Mexico to provide assistance with compensation and medical benefit claims for nuclear weapons workers and uranium miners. Attendees will receive information on the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act, which “compensates current or former employees . . . who were diagnosed with a radiogenic cancer, chronic beryllium disease, beryllium sensitivity, or chronic silicosis, as a result of exposure to radiation, beryllium, or silica while employed at covered facilities,” according to the Department of Labor. The first event is scheduled for Dec. 8 at the Courtyard Marriott in Farmington and the next on Dec. 9 at New Mexico State University in Grants.
