In the scenario with three wholly dependent for support on a deceased employee and additional partial dependents, the partial dependents would receive: (cap question)

• A. Four times the amount annually devoted to the support of the partial dependents.
• B. Four times the amount annually devoted to the support of the partial dependents, but not more than $25,000
• C. Four times the amount annually devoted to the support of the partial dependents, but not more than $70,000
• D. Nothing

Answer: (B)

In California Self-Insurance Plans, the benefit for partial dependents is calculated as four times the annual amount devoted to their support, but with a strict cap of $25,000. This means you multiply the yearly support for those partial dependents by four, and if that result would exceed $25,000, the payout is limited to $25,000. For example, if their annual support is $6,000, four times that is $24,000 (within the cap). If the annual support would produce $32,000, the payment is limited to $25,000. This cap applies regardless of how large the annual support might be.
