Which of the following describes the maximum benefit limit concept in group or disability policies?

• A. Underwriting guidelines
• B. premium payment schedules
• C. maximum benefit limit per employee
• D. eligibility rules for participation

Answer: (C)

Maximum benefit limit is about the cap on what the policy will pay. In group and disability coverage, this sets a ceiling on benefits—often a maximum monthly benefit in a disability plan or a maximum benefit per employee in a group plan. This limit controls how much the insurer will payout, helping manage costs and risk for the plan. It’s different from how insurability is determined (underwriting), when premiums are due (premium payment schedules), or who is allowed to enroll (eligibility rules for participation).
