[Approved March 24, 1931]
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. Section 25a of the above-entitled act, being part of section 2706 Nevada Compiled Laws 1929, is hereby amended so as to read as follows: Section 25a. Every employee in the employ of an employer within the provisions of this act, who shall be injured by accident arising out of and in course of employment, or his dependents as hereinafter defined, shall be entitled to receive the following compensation: If the injury causes death, the compensation shall be known as a death benefit, and shall be payable in the amount and to and for the benefit of the persons following: 1. Burial expenses, not to exceed one hundred and fifty ($150) dollars, in addition to the compensation payable under this act. 2. To the widow, if there is no child, thirty per centum of the average wage of the deceased. This compensation shall be paid until her death or remarriage, with two years compensation in one sum upon remarriage. 3. To the widower, if there is no child, thirty per centum of the average wage of the deceased, if wholly dependent for support upon the deceased employee at the time of her death. This compensation shall be paid until his death or remarriage. 4. To the widow or widower, if there is a child or children, the compensation payable under clause one (1) or clause two (2), and in addition the additional amount of fifteen per centum of such wage for each such child until the age of eighteen years. In case of the subsequent death of such surviving wife (or dependent husband) any surviving child or children of the deceased employee shall have his or their compensation increased to the extent of the compensation theretofore paid to said surviving wife (or dependent husband), and the same shall be payable until he shall reach the age of eighteen years; provided, that the total amount payable shall in no case exceed sixty-six and two-thirds per cent of such wage. |

age of eighteen years; provided, that the total amount payable shall in no case exceed sixty-six and two-thirds per cent of such wage. If the children have a guardian other than the surviving widow or widower, the compensation on account of such children may be paid to such guardian. The compensation payable on account of any child shall cease when he dies, marries, or reaches the age of eighteen years, or if over eighteen years and incapable of self-support, becomes capable of self-support. 5. If there be a surviving child or children of the deceased under the age of eighteen years, but no surviving wife (or dependent husband) then for the support of each child until the age of eighteen years, fifteen per centum of the wages of the deceased; provided, that the aggregate shall in no case exceed sixty-six and two-thirds per centum of such wages. 6. If there be no surviving wife (or dependent husband) or child under the age of eighteen years, there shall be paid to a parent, if wholly dependent for support upon the deceased employee at the time of his death, twenty-five per centum of the average monthly wage of the deceased during dependency, with an added allowance of ten per centum if two dependent parents survive; to the brothers or sisters, under the age of eighteen years, if one is wholly dependent upon the deceased employee for support at the time of injury causing death, twenty per centum of the average monthly wage for the support of such brother or sister, until the age of eighteen years. If more than one brother or sister is wholly dependent, thirty per centum of the average monthly wage at the time of injury, causing death, divided among such dependents share and share alike. If there is no one of them wholly dependent, but one or more partly dependent, ten per centum divided among such dependents share and share and share alike. 7. In all other cases, questions of total or partial dependency shall be determined in accordance with the facts as the facts may be at the time of the injury. If the deceased employee leaves dependents only partially dependent upon his earning for support at the time of the injury causing his death, the monthly compensation to be paid shall be equal to the same proportion of the monthly payments for the benefit of persons totally dependent as the amount contributed by the employee to such partial dependents bears to the average wage of deceased at the time of the injury resulting in his death. The duration of such compensation to partial dependents shall be fixed by the commission in accordance with the facts shown, but in no case exceed compensation for one hundred months. 8. Compensation to the widow or widower shall be for the use and benefit of such widow or widower, and of the dependent children, and the commission may, from time to time, apportion such compensation between them in such way as it deems best for the interests of all beneficiaries. |

dependent children, and the commission may, from time to time, apportion such compensation between them in such way as it deems best for the interests of all beneficiaries. If a dependent to whom a death benefit is to be paid is an alien not residing in the United States, the compensation shall be only sixty (60) per cent of the amount or amounts above specified. 9. Any excess of wages over one hundred and twenty ($120) dollars a month shall not be taken into account in computing compensation for death benefits. 10. In such cases where compensation is awarded to the widow, dependent children, or persons wholly dependent, no lump-sum settlements shall be allowed. 11. In case of the death of any dependent specified in the foregoing enumeration before the expiration of the time named in the award, funeral expenses not to exceed one hundred and fifty ($150) dollars shall be paid. Sec. 2. All acts or parts of acts in conflict with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. Sec. 3. This act shall take effect from and after its passage and approval. |
