The federal government does not offer short term disability.
Government workers do not have a directly sponsored program that they are automatically enrolled in. They can purchase private coverage. There are several private companies that allow government workers to purchase group policies and pay for them with a deduction initiated through the worker's pay center.
The federal government supports social security disability for private workers, but this program does not cover temporary disabilities. Your disability must be expected to last twelve months or longer, or result in death.
