What was the maximum burial expense for the year 2013?

• A. Up to $10,000
• B. Up to $5,000
• C. Up to $12,000
• D. Up to $15,000

Answer: (A)

The amount reflects the statutory cap on funeral expenses payable in a California workers’ compensation death claim. For 2013, the cap was $10,000, so burial costs can be paid up to that limit, not more. Any higher costs wouldn’t be paid as burial expenses under the claim. The other dollar amounts do not match the 2013 statutory limit.
