10.413—If a person dies while receiving a schedule award, to whom is the balance of the schedule award payable?
The circumstances under which the balance of a schedule award may be paid to an employee's survivors are described in 5 U.S.C. 8109. Therefore, if there is no surviving spouse or child, OWCP will pay benefits as follows:
(a)
To the parent, or parents, wholly dependent for support on the decedent in equal shares with any wholly dependent brother, sister, grandparent or grandchild;
(b)
To the parent, or parents, partially dependent for support on the decedent in equal shares when there are no wholly dependent 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.
