Which statement about burial expenses is correct for DOI on or after 1/1/13?

• A. burial expenses are unlimited
• B. burial expenses max is $5k
• C. burial expenses max is $12k
• D. burial expenses max is $10k

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that burial expenses for a death claim under California self-insurance regulations are capped. Since January 1, 2013, the maximum amount payable for burial expenses is ten thousand dollars. This is a fixed lump-sum limit intended to cover funeral costs without creating unlimited liability. It reflects an update to the regulations to align with typical funeral costs and to keep the payment amount reasonable. Prior to this change, the cap was lower, so saying the burial allowance could be unlimited or that it was a different fixed amount (like five thousand or twelve thousand) would not match the current rule.
