As a survivor, if I accept the payment of $125,000, will I be eligible for additional compensation due to wage-loss/impairment?
A – In addition to the $125,000, a survivor may receive additional compensation in increments of $25,000 based on the employee’s years of qualifying lost wages. For example, if there are no qualifying lost wages, the survivor is only entitled to $125,000. If the employee had qualifying wage-loss for a period of time of at least 10 years but less than 20 years, the survivor will receive $150,000. If the employee had at least 20 years of qualifying wage-loss, the survivor will receive $175,000.
