HB 2647 Workers' compensation; presumption of dependency.

Introduced by: Brian J. Moran | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Workers' compensation; presumption of dependency. Removes the requirement that a spouse, child or parent be "wholly" dependent upon a deceased employee in order to be eligible for certain benefits upon the death of an employee from an accident. The measure also substitutes the term "spouse" for the terms "husband" and "wife" in the provision that establishes the presumption that dependents are dependent for support upon a deceased employee. A spouse of a deceased employee will be presumed to be dependent for support upon the deceased employee whom the spouse had not voluntarily deserted or abandoned at the time of the accident or with whom the spouse lived at the time of the accident, if the spouse is then actually dependent upon the deceased employee.
