A lump sum compensation for surviving family is paid in the following cases:
遺族補償一時金は、次の場合に支給する。
where, at the time of the worker's death, there is no surviving family member who is eligible to receive a compensation pension for surviving family; and
労働者の死亡の当時遺族補償年金を受けることができる遺族がないとき。
where a person's right to receive the compensation pension for surviving family is extinguished, and there is no other surviving family member who is eligible to receive the compensation pension for surviving family and the total amount of the compensation pension for surviving family paid for the worker's death is less than the amount of the lump sum compensation for surviving family that would be paid on the assumption that the situation falls under the case set forth in the preceding item on the day on which the right is extinguished.
遺族補償年金を受ける権利を有する者の権利が消滅した場合において、他に当該遺族補償年金を受けることができる遺族がなく、かつ、当該労働者の死亡に関し支給された遺族補償年金の額の合計額が当該権利が消滅した日において前号に掲げる場合に該当することとなるものとしたときに支給されることとなる遺族補償一時金の額に満たないとき。
When the total amount of a compensation pension for surviving family prescribed in item (ii) of the preceding paragraph is calculated, with regard to the amount of the compensation pension for surviving family paid for a period before July of the fiscal year of the date on which the right prescribed in that item is extinguished (in cases where the month of the date on which the right is extinguished is any of the months from April to July, the previous fiscal year; hereinafter the same applies in this paragraph), the amount is calculated according to the amount obtained by multiplying the amount actually paid by the rate specified by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare based on the rate obtained by dividing the average salary for the fiscal year before the fiscal year of the date on which the right is extinguished by the average salary for the fiscal year one year before the fiscal year of the months for which the compensation pension for surviving family is paid (in cases where the relevant month is either April, May, June or July, the fiscal year two years before).
