If an EE has 11% in permanent disability what is the amount of SJDB?

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

Answer: (A)

Supplemental Job Displacement Benefits (SJDB) are a one-time payout tied to the worker’s permanent disability (PD) rating. The amount isn’t calculated from wage loss directly; instead, it’s set by a fixed schedule that assigns a dollar amount to ranges of PD. An 11% PD falls into the tier that provides a $4,000 SJDB payment, so the correct amount is $4,000. The schedule increases in higher tiers for larger PD percentages, up to higher maximums, but for 11% the designated amount is $4,000.
