20 CFR 725.227 - Time of determination of relationship and dependency of survivors.

  • Section Number: 725.227
  • Section Name: Time of determination of relationship and dependency of survivors. 
    The determination as to whether an individual purporting to be an 
entitled survivor of a miner or beneficiary was related to, or 
dependent upon, the miner is made after such individual files a claim 
for benefits as a survivor. Such determination is based on the facts 
and circumstances with respect to a reasonable period of time ending 
with the miner's death. A prior determination that such individual was, 
or was not, a dependent for the purposes of augmenting the miner's 
benefits for a certain period, is not determinative of the issue of 
whether the individual is a dependent survivor of such miner.
