  1. 120 days
  2. One year
  3. 90 days
  4. 180 days ✓

Why: §5208(a)(1) requires a qualified person to file the affidavit within one hundred eighty days of accrual as a condition precedent to applying for payment.

Vocational rehabilitation benefits under workers' compensation are intended to:

  4. Help an injured worker retrain or be re-educated to return to gainful employment ✓

Why: Vocational rehabilitation provides retraining, education, or job-placement assistance so an injured worker can return to suitable employment.

  2. Failure to mitigate damages
  3. Negligence

  1. It requires no underwriting
  2. It transfers risk from the insured to the insurer
  3. It pays first-party property losses
  4. It is a three-party guarantee in which the surety guarantees the principal's obligation to the obligee, and the principal must reimburse the surety for losses ✓
