Worked the Wyoming Uranium Mines, Mills, or Haul Roads?
Already Received RECA Compensation or a White Card? You May Be Leaving Benefits on the Table.
If the government has already acknowledged what your work cost you — through RECA compensation, a White Card, or both — that recognition doesn't expire. For a lot of Wyoming families, it just sits there, unused, because nobody explained what comes next.
Here's what many White Card holders don't realize:
-
Your White Card can authorize in-home care — a nurse, a home health aide, or a care coordinator who comes to you. This is part of what you've already earned, fully covered through your federal benefits. There's nothing new to apply for.
-
Your condition may qualify for more than it did when you first applied. Illnesses tied to uranium work tend to develop slowly. A consequential condition review can look at what's changed since your original approval — without starting your claim over.
-
A family member can be recognized and paid as your caregiver under your existing benefits, if that's the kind of support that makes sense for your family.
-
None of this affects any payment you've already received. Using your home care benefits doesn't touch your RECA compensation or any other part of what you were awarded.
If your card has been sitting in a drawer in Riverton, Casper, Douglas, or anywhere in between — one call can tell you what it's good for today.
Worked Uranium in Wyoming and Never Applied for RECA? You May Qualify Now - Even If You Were Told No Before

Where Patients Come First - Since 2011
Four Corners Healthcare has worked alongside Wyoming's uranium families for over a decade, out of Riverton and Casper. We're part of a larger network that serves patients across 26 states with an 80+ Net Promoter Score — but here in Wyoming, we're still the people who know Gas Hills from Crooks Gap, and who understand that this community runs on relationships, not paperwork.
We don't sell insurance. We don't charge for these conversations. We help Wyoming families understand what the federal government has already promised them — and we provide the care that comes with it, for those who are ready.
Common Questions
I already got my RECA check years ago. Isn't that the end of it?
For a lot of people, the compensation payment was the only part of RECA they ever used. But a RECA award or White Card can also open the door to in-home care — a separate benefit that doesn't affect the payment you already received.
I was told I didn't qualify for RECA before. Why would it be different now?
RECA's eligibility rules have changed, including an expansion in 2025 that reaches more uranium workers and more years of work than before. If your last answer was "no" more than a couple of years ago, it's worth asking again.
Is this going to cost me anything?
The conversation costs nothing, and if you qualify for in-home care under RECA or EEOICPA, that care is fully covered through your federal benefits — not something you pay for out of pocket.
What if I'm calling on behalf of my dad / mom / spouse?
That's common, and it's fine. Family members reach out on behalf of a parent or spouse all the time, especially when the person who did the work is no longer up for paperwork and phone calls. We can talk it through with you.
Do I need any paperwork to call?
No. If you have an old White Card, a RECA award letter, or any DOL paperwork, it can help — but it's not required to start the conversation.
