Federal Workers in Mineola and the 11501 ZIP
USPS
USPS Mineola Station
160 1st Street
The 1936 Art Deco post office at the corner of 1st and Main runs active letter carrier operations across one of Nassau's densest residential corridors. Carriers on these routes file OWCP claims for dog bites, slips on icy walkways, and repetitive strain from years of heavy-bag routes. A traumatic event means a CA-1. A condition that developed over time, such as rotator cuff strain or carpal tunnel syndrome, means a CA-2. Dr. Moalemi handles both, and his staff assists with the filing.
SSA
SSA District Office
163 Mineola Blvd
This is a public-facing claims facility, but the people staffing it are federal employees. Any on-the-job injury at the SSA office routes through OWCP, not New York State workers' comp. The office also serves a large federal-retiree population in Nassau County, many of them transitioning off OWCP after long careers and needing updated disability documentation.
Beyond those two buildings, Mineola is a major commuter node. TSA officers who screen bags at JFK and LaGuardia board trains here daily. CBP and ICE agents assigned to Nassau County operations live throughout this corridor, from Mineola to Garden City to Hicksville. If you're a federal employee covered by FECA and you've been injured on the job, what matters is whether your provider holds OWCP credentials, not which ZIP code you call home.

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 Mineola, NY?
Not within the 11501 ZIP. The nearest OWCP-credentialed provider is Dr. Moalemi's Woodbury office, about 10 miles and roughly 20 minutes off-peak from Mineola center. He bills the Department of Labor directly, so you won't pay out of pocket, and no agency referral is required before scheduling.
Can a USPS letter carrier based at the Mineola post office use OWCP for a work injury?
Yes. All USPS employees, including carriers assigned to the 1st Street station, are federal employees covered under FECA. Common claims from Mineola-area carriers include dog bites, slips on residential routes, and repetitive strain from mail handling. File a CA-1 for a traumatic injury or a CA-2 for a condition that developed over time through eLINCS, then schedule with Dr. Moalemi.
Does the SSA office in Mineola treat injured employees, or just process public claims?
The Mineola SSA office handles public claims; it's not a medical facility. SSA staff who get hurt on the job go through OWCP the same as any other federal worker. The office also serves Nassau County residents applying for Social Security disability, including injured federal employees who are transitioning off OWCP benefits.
How do I get to the Woodbury office from Mineola without a car?
Take LIRR from Mineola station to Hicksville (about 4 minutes) or Syosset (about 8 minutes), then a short rideshare north to our office on Sunnyside Blvd. Total transit is roughly 25 to 35 minutes. If you already commute into the city, our Manhattan office is also available, a direct LIRR ride from Mineola.
What federal agencies does Dr. Moalemi treat workers from?
USPS postal carriers and clerks, SSA field staff, TSA officers commuting to JFK or LaGuardia, CBP and ICE agents assigned to Nassau County, and others. If you're a federal employee covered by FECA and injured on the job, the agency name on your badge doesn't limit your options.
