SJDB for permanent partial disability award less than 15% is up to how much?

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

Answer: (B)

Supplemental Job Displacement Benefits are a retraining aid provided after a work injury, issued as a voucher to cover education, training, or job placement services. The amount depends on the permanent impairment rating. When the permanent partial disability rating is less than 15%, the maximum SJDB benefit is $4,000. If the rating is 15% or higher, the maximum rises to $6,000. Since the scenario specifies a PD award under 15%, the up-to amount is $4,000.
