Which of the following is a workers' compensation benefit for survivors?

• A. Health club membership
• B. Administrative leave
• C. Child care stipend
• D. Death benefits to a survivor

Answer: (D)

Survivor benefits are payments made to the dependents of a worker who dies from a work-related injury or illness. The option that describes death benefits to a survivor is the standard survivor benefit in workers’ compensation, providing financial support to the worker’s family after death. These benefits can help with funeral costs and replace lost wages through a lump-sum payment or ongoing payments.

Other options don’t fit survivor benefits: a health club membership is a wellness perk, not a compensation payout; administrative leave is time off work, not a payment to survivors; a child care stipend is for dependents’ care while the employee is alive, not a death-related benefit.
