Death benefits are specified for which dependent counts?

Death benefits are specified for which dependent counts?

• A. One dependent, Two dependents, Three dependents
• B. Two dependents, Three dependents, Four dependents
• C. One dependent and Two dependents only
• D. All of the above

Answer: (A)

Death benefits are set by how many dependents the deceased worker has, and in this SIP context the schedule covers up to three dependents. The plan specifies benefits for one dependent, two dependents, or three dependents, but not for four or more. That’s why the correct choice lists those counts. Options that include four dependents or imply all counts including four aren’t consistent with the standard death-benefit schedule.
