Which of the following is a Special Pay Status that can be used to limit search results?

• A. Approved
• B. Denied
• C. Pending
• D. Saved

Answer: (A)

Filtering by the current state of items is what you’re being asked to understand. When you want to limit search results to records that have already been evaluated and accepted, you choose the status that means the item is completed and approved. That status is Approved, so the results will include only those records that have passed review.

Denial means the item was rejected, which isn’t what you want if you’re narrowing to approved records. Pending indicates items still waiting on a decision, so they wouldn’t be limited to finalized approvals. Saved isn’t a live status of an individual item; it usually refers to saving a search or draft, so it wouldn’t filter results by item state.
