Meeting Set To Eye Death Benefit Law
Oklahoma City The Insurance Committee of the state Legislative Council will meet September 24 to act on changes to Oklahoma's death benefit law. A sub-committee proposed basing benefits on dependency of collateral heirs rather than heirs at law, and paying monthly benefits instead of the current $13,500 lump sum. If a widow with no children remarries she would receive 50 percent of the balance. if no dependents, $500 goes to the deceased worker’s estate for burial costs. The plan also would require the Industrial Commission to check employers not carrying insurance or qualified as self insurers. It would start compensation from injury date, remove a five day waiting period, and cover medical costs. The program would include all state, municipal, or school district employees in hazardous work.
