The Administrative Director shall prescribe reasonable rules and regulations for serving on the employee, notices dealing with the payment, nonpayment, or delay in payment of temporary disability, permanent disability, and death benefits. Which provision governs these notices?

• A. Labor Code 138.4
• B. Injuries involving loss of time
• C. Rules for serving notices about payments of disability benefits
• D. SB 863

Answer: (C)

The key idea is the Administrative Director’s authority to set rules for how employees must be served notices about disability payments. This provision focuses specifically on the notice process itself—what must be communicated to the employee, the timing, and the method of service—when dealing with temporary disability, permanent disability, or death benefits. That direct focus is why this option is the best answer: it names the rules for serving notices about payments of disability benefits, which is exactly what the question asks about. The other choices don’t specify the notice-servicing requirements and therefore don’t address how these notices are governed.
