Sample WV L&H Practice Questions
Q1.In West Virginia, if an insurer includes a definition of 'valid loss of time coverage' in a disability income policy, which of the following must that definition be limited to?
- Coverage from governmental agencies, organizations subject to insurance regulation (in WV or any other US state/Canadian province), or other coverage approved by the commissionerCorrect
- Any private insurance policy regardless of source
- Only federal government plans
- Private employer-sponsored health plans only
The law specifically limits 'valid loss of time coverage' to governmental agencies, regulated organizations (US/Canada), or commissioner-approved sources. Distractors are incorrect because they either over-broaden the definition to all private policies or incorrectly narrow it to only federal plans.
Q2.Under West Virginia law, if an insured moves from a desk job to a construction role (a more hazardous occupation), how does the insurer determine the amount of indemnity to be paid?
- The insurer pays only the portion of indemnities that the premium paid would have purchased at the rates and limits for the more hazardous occupation.Correct
- The premium remains the same but benefits are reduced by 50%.
- The insurer must pay the full benefit regardless of hazard level.
- The policy is automatically voided because the risk profile has changed significantly.
West Virginia law specifically mandates that benefits are prorated based on what the original premium would have purchased at the higher hazard rate. The other options incorrectly suggest full payment, an arbitrary percentage reduction, or voiding of the policy.
Q3.Under West Virginia law, if an insured moves from a desk job to a construction role (a more hazardous occupation), how must the insurer adjust the disability income benefits?
- The insurer must pay the full benefit amount as long as the premium was paid in full.
- The insurer must reduce the monthly benefit by exactly 50% to account for the increased physical risk of construction work.
- The insurer remains obligated to pay the full benefit, but may increase the premium immediately to reflect the new risk level.
- The insurer pays only the portion of indemnities that the original premium would have purchased at the rates for the more hazardous occupation.Correct
West Virginia law specifically mandates that benefits be prorated based on what the original premium would have purchased at the higher hazard's rate. Other options fail because they either ignore the statutory proration requirement or suggest arbitrary percentage reductions not found in the law.
