Workers' Compensation Coverage A provides benefits for which type of claim?

• A. A non-work-related injury
• B. A job-incurred occupational disease
• C. A repetitive strain injury not caused by work
• D. A family member injury while accompanying the employee

Answer: (B)

Coverage A pays benefits for injuries or illnesses that arise from the employee’s work. An occupational disease is a disease that results from job duties or working conditions, so it qualifies as a work-related claim under workers’ compensation. Non-work-related injuries, injuries not caused by work (like a repetitive strain injury not linked to work), and injuries to a family member accompanying the employee aren’t covered because they don’t stem from the employee’s employment.
