If no objection is filed within the required period, the claim becomes compensable after how many days?

• A. 60 days
• B. 90 days
• C. 30 days
• D. 45 days

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how the compensability of a claim becomes established by default if no timely objection is raised. In California workers’ compensation, after a claim is filed, the employer has a limited period to object to compensability. If no objection is filed within that period, the claim becomes compensable after sixty days. This default mechanism prevents endless delays and ensures the employee can access benefits in a timely manner. If an objection is filed within the period, the claim remains contested and will proceed through the normal dispute process.
