A bill to amend section 8118 of title 5, United States Code, to provide for physical examinations with respect to claims for compensation for work injuries, and to provide that continuation of pay under such section shall not begin until the fourth day of disability.

Authorizes the immediate supervisor of any Federal employee who has applied for continuation pay during a period of disability caused by a work injury to require such employee to submit to an examination by a physician designated by the supervisor for the purposes of obtaining a second opinion concerning the employee's claim. Prohibits the payment of continuation pay for the first three days of disability unless the period of disability exceeds 14 days.
