Quizplus · Accepted Answer

False statements on a job application or resume that meet the three-part test established by the courts will result in a denial of workers' compensation benefits. The three-part test includes: the statement must be false, the employer must rely on the false statement when hiring the employee, and the false statement must be a material factor in the injury that led to the workers' compensation claim. However, not all false statements will automatically result in a denial of benefits.
