Death Benefits Reasonable burial expenses up to $4000 will be paid in cases where the injury results in death. Surviving spouses can receive weekly benefits equal to two-thirds of the deceased worker's average weekly wage, up to a maximum of the SAWW. They can receive these benefits for as long as they remain dependent and do not remarry. Surviving spouses become eligible for yearly cost of living increases two years after the date of injury. If the spouse remarries, $60 a week is paid to each eligible child. The total weekly amount paid to dependent children can not exceed the amount the spouse had been receiving.
