[UNITED STATES, JUNE 17, 2016] – Nuclear Care Partners, a care provider dedicated to nuclear workers in the U.S., supports energy workers at Idaho National Laboratory and helps them in filing for a health claim. They also assist workers who need more information regarding the program.

Compensation Program

Nuclear Care Partners shares that during the time of the Cold War, the country’s atomic weapons program hired thousands of workers. They say that the work was hazardous and most of the workers got exposed to toxic and radioactive materials.

The provider adds that the congress understood the grave danger the chemical exposure brought, which is why they implemented the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA). They say that effective July 1, 2001, the program started offering compensation to employees who caught an illness while working at atomic weapon facilities.

Nuclear Care Partners says the people who are qualified to get the benefits of the program are the employees themselves and the eligible survivors of those who worked at any Department of Energy (DOE) facility. They add that the employers of atomic weapons, any company under the DOE, and beryllium vendors may also be entitled to the benefits.

Other Services

Nuclear Care Partners works directly with a physician to design a plan that fits every individual’s need. Some of the services they offer are CNA support, skilled nursing care, home safety evaluation, medication assistance, and meal preparation. They also provide fall risk assessment, grooming and hygiene, education, and light housekeeping.
