A notice of Employee Death shall be filed with the Administrative Director within ___ days, where the employee left no surviving minor child.

• A. 14 days
• B. 20 days
• C. 30 days
• D. 60 days

Answer: (D)

A notice of an employee death filed with the Administrative Director is a reporting requirement used to initiate and coordinate workers’ compensation processes and potential death benefits. When there is no surviving minor child, the rule provides a sixty‑day window to submit this notice. This timeframe ensures the state is promptly informed so records can be updated and any necessary calculations or investigations can proceed, without the urgency created by a dependent child who would need timely benefits. The longer period reflects that there isn’t a dependent child requiring immediate action, while still keeping the process timely.
