If a person who has the right to receive payment of insurance proceeds under this Act dies and any payment of the insurance proceeds payable to the deceased person remains unpaid, their spouse (including a person who did not register the marriage but has been in a de facto marital relationship with the deceased person; the same applies hereinafter), children, parents, grandchildren, grandparents or siblings who makes a living together with the deceased person at the time of their death (in the case of the compensation pension for surviving family, other surviving family members eligible to receive the survivor compensation pension, in the case of the pension for surviving family of multiple-job workers, other surviving family members eligible to receive the pension for surviving family of multiple-job workers, and in the case of the pension for surviving family, other surviving family members eligible to receive the pension for surviving family) may claim payment of the unpaid insurance proceeds in their own names.
この法律に基づく保険給付を受ける権利を有する者が死亡した場合において、その死亡した者に支給すべき保険給付でまだその者に支給しなかつたものがあるときは、その者の配偶者（婚姻の届出をしていないが、事実上婚姻関係と同様の事情にあつた者を含む。以下同じ。）、子、父母、孫、祖父母又は兄弟姉妹であつて、その者の死亡の当時その者と生計を同じくしていたもの（遺族補償年金については当該遺族補償年金を受けることができる他の遺族、複数事業労働者遺族年金については当該複数事業労働者遺族年金を受けることができる他の遺族、遺族年金については当該遺族年金を受けることができる他の遺族）は、自己の名で、その未支給の保険給付の支給を請求することができる。
In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, if the deceased person had not claimed payment of insurance proceeds before their death, those persons prescribed in that paragraph may claim payment of the insurance proceeds in their own names.
The order of priority of those who are to receive any unpaid insurance proceeds depends on the order prescribed in paragraph (1) (in the case of the compensation pension for surviving family, the order priority depends on the order prescribed in Article 16-2, paragraph (3), in the case of the pension for surviving family of multiple-job workers, the order prescribed in Article 16-2, paragraph (3), as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 20-6, paragraph (3), and in the case of the pension for surviving family, the order prescribed in Article 16-2, paragraph (3), as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 22-4, paragraph (3)).
If there are two or more persons who hold the same rank in the order of priority of persons who are to receive any unpaid insurance proceeds, a claim made by one of the relevant persons is deemed to have been made on behalf of all relevant persons for the total amount, and a payment made to one of the relevant persons is deemed to have been made to all relevant persons.
未支給の保険給付を受けるべき同順位者が二人以上あるときは、その一人がした請求は、全員のためその全額につきしたものとみなし、その一人に対してした支給は、全員に対してしたものとみなす。
