Home Care and DCMWC Benefits for Coal Miners in Houston
COAL WORKERS
For generations, coal miners have been the backbone of American energy. You went underground, into dangerous conditions, to keep the lights on and the factories running. You knew the risks, but someone had to do the work. Now, if those years in the mines have affected your breathing and your health, you need to know that the care you deserve is available – and it’s covered.
The Price of Powering America
Coal mining has always been dangerous work. The coal dust, the confined spaces, the physical demands – they all take a toll. Black lung disease, pneumoconiosis, and other respiratory conditions aren’t signs of weakness; they’re the price you paid for keeping America running.

The Division of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation (DCMWC) follows you wherever you go, ensuring you get the care you’ve earned.
