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

Answer: (D)

Supplemental Job Displacement Benefits (SJDB) are funds provided to help an injured worker pursue retraining or education when a permanent partial disability prevents returning to the same job. For a permanent partial disability rated between 50% and 99%, the law caps SJDB at $10,000. This one-time benefit can be used toward approved training or education costs (tuition, books, licenses, exams, etc.) to improve employability. The other amounts listed are not the cap for this rating range, making $10,000 the correct maximum.
