Which statement is true about burial expenses after 2013?

• A. $15,000 maximum.
• B. $10,000 maximum.
• C. $5,000 maximum.
• D. $2,000 maximum.

Answer: (B)

The amount for burial expenses is a one-time burial allowance provided in California workers’ compensation claims, with a fixed maximum set by statute. Since 2013, that cap has been $10,000. This means the insurer or employer may reimburse up to $10,000 for reasonable funeral and burial costs related to a work-related death; expenses beyond that aren’t covered as burial expense under the claim.

So the correct statement is that the maximum burial expense after 2013 is $10,000. The other figures exceed or fall short of the current cap, which is why they aren’t correct.
