What are the death benefits in 2006 for 1, 2 and 3 or more total dependents?

• A. $260k, $300k, $340k
• B. $270k, $310k, $330k
• C. $250k, $290k, $320k
• D. $240k, $280k, $300k

Answer: (C)

Death benefits under California Self-Insured Plans are paid as a one-time lump-sum to the decedent’s dependents, with the amount set by a schedule that increases as the number of total dependents rises. As of 2006, the schedule allocated 250,000 for one dependent, 290,000 for two dependents, and 320,000 for three or more dependents. This stepped approach reflects the greater financial need when there are more dependents to support. These figures are specific to the 2006 schedule and are separate from any ongoing wage-replacement benefits.
