What is the impairment qualification amount for the 50-99 age range?

• A. $6000
• B. $8000
• C. $10000
• D. $4000

Answer: (C)

The impairment qualification amount is the minimum dollar value of impairment that must be established for a worker in a given age range to qualify for impairment-related benefits under the California Self-Insurance Plan. This threshold increases with age because older workers have less remaining earning potential, so a larger impairment is needed to trigger benefits.

For the 50–99 age range, the qualifying amount is ten thousand dollars, which is the highest threshold among common age bands. That’s why this option is correct. Lower figures apply to younger age groups or different eligibility rules, so they don’t fit the 50–99 range.
