USPS - Retail & Letter Carrier Dispatch
USPS Lindenhurst Post Office
65 E Hoffman Ave, Lindenhurst, NY 11757
The Lindenhurst Post Office handles retail and dispatches letter carriers across the village's residential grid. Letter carriers, clerks, and maintenance staff are career federal employees covered by FECA. Common on-route claims include dog bites on residential routes, slip-and-falls on icy walkways during winter, ankle and knee strain from curbside delivery, and cumulative shoulder injury from years of heavy bag loads. Whether your case is a single CA-1 traumatic event or a long-developing CA-2 occupational condition, Dr. Moalemi's office handles the medical report and the claim coordination.
USCG Auxiliary - Volunteer Uniformed Component of DHS
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary - Long Island Flotilla (Lindenhurst)
Lindenhurst-based flotilla (no standalone federal facility building)
The Coast Guard Auxiliary's Lindenhurst flotilla runs boating safety patrols, Great South Bay coverage, and port-security support out of the village. The Auxiliary is a uniformed volunteer body of the U.S. Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security. While Auxiliary volunteers are not paid federal employees in the FECA sense, any Lindenhurst resident who works elsewhere as a paid federal employee (USPS, TSA, CBP, DOD civilian, FAA, VA) and is injured at that worksite is covered by OWCP. Dr. Moalemi's Woodbury office is the closest OWCP-credentialed practice.
Lindenhurst's Zone 7 Babylon Branch station puts it in the federal-employee commuter corridor that feeds Manhattan agencies and JFK-area TSA work via Jamaica and AirTrain. The NY-110 corridor north of the village runs straight past the FBI Long Island Resident Agency in Melville, Pinelawn National Cemetery, the FAA tower and Flight Standards District Office at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, and into the Woodbury hub itself. If you live in Lindenhurst and work at any federal facility on that corridor or in Manhattan, your address does not limit your provider choice.
Getting Here from Lindenhurst
Our nearest office is the Woodbury Office (Long Island) at 99 Sunnyside Boulevard Extension, Suite 102, Woodbury, NY 11797.
By Car
Off-peak via NY-109 east to NY-110 (Broadhollow Rd) north through Farmingdale, across I-495 at Exit 49, then east on Woodbury Road to Sunnyside Boulevard. Roughly 24 minutes off-peak, about 13 miles. During AM and PM rush, budget 35 to 50 minutes through the NY-110 / I-495 interchange. Free surface parking at Woodbury.
By LIRR
Lindenhurst station sits on the LIRR Babylon Branch, Zone 7. There is no direct rail line east to Hicksville, the closest mainline station to our office. The practical rail option is westbound to Jamaica, transfer to a Main Line train eastbound to Hicksville, then a short rideshare north, a 75 to 100 minute door-to-door trip. Driving NY-110 is faster for most patients.
Via Manhattan
Our Midtown office at 7 W 45th Street is a Babylon Branch direct ride from Lindenhurst, roughly 65 to 75 minutes door to door to Penn Station or Grand Central Madison including the Jamaica transfer. If you already commute into the city, fitting an appointment around an existing workday is often easier than making a Long Island trip.
Why a Named Physician Matters
OWCP claims succeed or fail on medical documentation. Dr. Moalemi, board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), personally signs your reports and IME paperwork. A named, credentialed specialist in your file carries more weight with the Department of Labor than a generic note from a rotating clinic. See his full credentials and background.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an OWCP-credentialed doctor in Lindenhurst, NY?
Not within the 11757 ZIP. The closest OWCP-credentialed provider is Dr. Moalemi's Woodbury office, about 13 miles north via NY-109 to NY-110, roughly 24 minutes off-peak. He bills the Department of Labor directly so there is no out-of-pocket cost, and no agency referral is required to schedule.
I work at the Lindenhurst Post Office on East Hoffman Avenue. Does OWCP cover me?
Yes. Career USPS letter carriers, clerks, and maintenance staff at the Lindenhurst Post Office (65 E Hoffman Ave) are federal employees covered by FECA. Common South Shore claims include dog bites, slip-and-falls, knee and ankle strain from curbside delivery, and shoulder injuries from years of heavy bag loads. File a CA-1 for a traumatic event or a CA-2 for a condition that built up over time, then bring the paperwork to Dr. Moalemi's office.
I'm in the Coast Guard Auxiliary out of Lindenhurst. Am I covered by OWCP?
Auxiliary volunteers are not paid federal employees and FECA does not cover volunteer service the way it covers paid federal employment. If you are a Coast Guard Auxiliarist who also holds a paid federal job (USPS, TSA, CBP, DOD civilian, VA, FAA) and you are injured at that paid worksite, that injury is covered. Bring your federal employment documentation to your first visit and we will help you start the right claim.
I commute from Lindenhurst to Federal Plaza in Manhattan. If I'm injured at work in the city, can I treat at the Woodbury office?
Yes. FECA covers federal employees at their official worksite no matter where they live. After urgent care in Manhattan, you can shift OWCP-authorized follow-up to the closest credentialed provider. Dr. Moalemi's Woodbury office is roughly 24 minutes from Lindenhurst by car or a Babylon Branch ride plus rideshare. For Midtown federal workers, our 7 W 45th Street office is a direct LIRR stop from Lindenhurst.
What if I don't have a CA-16 from my supervisor yet?
You do not need a CA-16 to be seen. CA-16 is the form your supervisor signs to authorize medical care directly with the provider, and it is helpful when you have one. If you don't, we still see you and bill DOL once the claim is filed, or work with you on the CA-1 or CA-2 paperwork at the first visit so the supervisor can complete their portion afterward.
