It took nearly three years to win presumptive workers’ compensation coverage for breast, cervical, and other cancers.
Now, just weeks after the Labor Department added coverage for those illnesses, firefighters worry the gains may be in jeopardy.
The Trump administration deleted information about the expansion of coverage for cancers that mostly affect women and transgender firefighters.
The Labor Department implemented policy changes that eased the requirements for covering wildland firefighters’ cancer-related workers’ compensation claims in April 2022 .
To qualify, firefighters must have worked for at least five years and be diagnosed within 10 years of their last exposure.
Those with unlisted cancers could still file claims through a special unit but wouldn’t receive the same streamlined adjudication.
