Which option correctly describes which body administers WCB claims for an employee in a province?

• A. The federal workers' compensation board
• B. The municipal safety office
• C. The Canada Labour Program
• D. The workers' compensation board or commission established for the province/territory in the employee's jurisdiction of employment

Answer: (D)

WCB claims are handled by the workers’ compensation board or commission of the province or territory where the employee works. Each province/territory runs its own WCB system to administer claims, provide coverage, and deliver benefits within that jurisdiction. For employees in federally regulated industries or federal employees, there is a separate federal program, but for most provincial employment, the provincial WCB is the authority responsible. The other bodies listed do not administer WCB claims: there isn’t a federal workers’ compensation board for general use, municipal safety offices don’t manage WCB claims, and the Canada Labour Program handles workplace standards rather than WCB benefits.
