- Section Number: 10.413
- Section Name: If a person dies while receiving a schedule award, to whom is the balance of the schedule award payable?

decedent in equal shares with any wholly dependent brother, sister,
grandparent or grandchild;

brothers, sisters, grandparents or grandchildren (or other wholly
dependent parent); and
(c) To the parent, or parents, partially dependent upon the
decedent, 25 percent of the amount payable, shared equally, and the
remaining 75 percent to any wholly dependent brother, sister,
grandparent or grandchild (or wholly dependent parent), shared equally.
