In 2006, death benefits for three or more total dependents were:

• A. $250k
• B. $270k
• C. $320k
• D. $340k

Answer: (C)

Death benefits in California workers’ compensation (including SIP contexts) are set by a schedule that ties the total amount to how many dependents there are. When there are three or more total dependents, the maximum death benefit is $320,000. This cap reflects increasing allowed benefits as the number of dependents grows, but it stops at a fixed ceiling. Since the scenario specifies three or more dependents, the $320,000 limit is the correct figure. The other amounts correspond to scenarios with fewer dependents and don’t apply when there are three or more. Note that these values are from 2006 and the current schedule may be updated, so always check the latest figures.
