The RECA program is administered by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) program has been revitalized and expanded, offering renewed hope and support for affected communities. The law enhances compensation and support for uranium workers and their families. Learn more and file a claim if you’re eligible.

Disclaimer – Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) Update

As of July 3, 2025, Congress has reauthorized claims under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) and extended the RECA Trust Fund. This reauthorization also expands eligibility criteria for compensation.

Please note that the U.S. Department of Justice is currently reviewing the amendments to RECA and has not yet issued updated guidance. Claimants are strongly encouraged to wait until this guidance is published before submitting any new claims.
