Subpart 1.

Parents.

If the claimant leaves both parents wholly dependent on the deceased, the Pollution Control Agency shall pay to both parents jointly for ten years, 45 percent of the claimant's wage. If only one parent survives, the agency shall pay to that parent for ten years 35 percent of the claimant's wage. If the claimant lived in the same household as both parents immediately before death, the agency shall pay for ten years, 45 percent of the value of the claimant's household labor to both parents jointly. If the claimant lived in the household of one parent immediately before death, the agency shall pay 35 percent of the value of the claimant's household labor to that parent for ten years.

Subp. 2.

Other established dependents.

If the claimant leaves a child, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, or parent-in-law wholly dependent, the agency shall pay to that dependent for ten years, 30 percent of the claimant's wage. If the claimant leaves more than one of them, the agency shall pay 35 percent of the claimant's wage divided among them in equal shares.

Subp. 3.

b = A x c/w

Where:

b is the benefit to be awarded;

A is the eligible allowance to the dependent;
