Persons Entitled to Benefits, Conditions, and Duration of Entitlement |
- 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.
