Which benefit is explicitly listed under 'Benefits Required by Statute'?

• A. Health insurance
• B. Social Security
• C. Paid vacation
• D. Pension plan

Answer: (B)

The question tests recognizing which benefits are mandated by law. Social Security is the one listed as a statutory requirement because it’s established by the Social Security Act and funded through payroll taxes shared by both the employer and the employee. That legal obligation makes it a benefit “required by statute.” The other options—health insurance, paid vacation, and a pension plan—are common workplace benefits but are not universally mandated by statute; they’re typically offered at the employer’s discretion or governed by separate laws or programs, not a blanket statutory requirement.
