What is the maximum benefit for an employee with a Permanent Disability between 50% - 99% within the 2004 - 2013 range?

The maximum benefit for an employee with a Permanent Disability rating between 50% to 99% within the 2004 to 2013 range is $10,000. This amount reflects the structure of California’s workers' compensation system, which established specific limits associated with permanent disabilities based on different ranges of disability percentages. The design of these benefits is intended to provide financial assistance to employees who are significantly impacted by permanent injuries, ensuring they receive adequate support during their recovery and adjustment period.

In the context of permanent disability benefits, the system uses a formula to determine the compensation based on the percentage of disability, with defined maximums set to provide guidance for claims processing. The $10,000 benefit for a disability rating in the specified range is consistent with regulations and policies during that timeframe.

This maximum has been established in part to standardize compensation and provide predictability for both employees and employers in the workers' compensation system. Other amounts mentioned in the choices do not correspond with the established rates for that period.
