第四十二条

The person who should be given compensation for bereaved family shall be the spouse of a worker (including the person who has de facto marital relationship without a marriage notification; hereinafter the same shall apply).

遺族補償を受けるべき者は、労働者の配偶者(婚姻の届出をしなくとも事実上婚姻と同様の関係にある者を含む。以下同じ。)とする。

When a worker has no spouse, the persons who should be given compensation for bereaved family shall be the worker's children, parents, grandchildren and grandparents, who made a living from the worker's income, or who lived on common living expenses at the time when the worker died and the priority is in the order mentioned above. As for parents, adoptive parents shall have priority over natural parents.

配偶者がない場合には、遺族補償を受けるべき者は、労働者の子、父母、孫及び祖父母で、労働者の死亡当時その収入によつて生計を維持していた者又は労働者の死亡当時これと生計を一にしていた者とし、その順位は、前段に掲げる順序による。この場合において、父母については、養父母を先にし実父母を後にする。
