20 CFR 725.224 - Determination of relationship; parent, brother, or sister.

  • Section Number: 725.224
  • Section Name: Determination of relationship; parent, brother, or sister.

    (a) An individual will be considered to be the parent, brother, or 
sister of a miner if the courts of the State in which the miner was 
domiciled (see Sec. 225.231) at the time of death would find, under the 
law they would apply, that the individual is the miner's parent, 
brother, or sister.
    (b) Where, under State law, the individual is not the miner's 
parent, brother, or sister, but would, under State law, have the same 
status (i.e., right to share in the miner's intestate personal 
property) as a parent, brother, or sister, the individual will be 
considered to be the parent, brother, or sister as appropriate.
