Within how many days must notice of an employee death be filed with the Administrative Director if there are no minor children?

• A. 30 days
• B. 90 days
• C. 120 days
• D. 60 days

Answer: (D)

The timing being tested is how quickly a self‑insured employer must report a death to the Administrative Director. When there are no minor children, the required filing window is 60 days from the date of death. This 60‑day deadline helps ensure timely notification so the plan can coordinate survivor benefits and comply with regulatory oversight without unnecessary delay.

A shorter window, like 30 days, would be too tight given the need to gather facts and documents; longer windows such as 90 or 120 days would delay the necessary reporting beyond the mandated period for this specific situation.
