Survivors' Benefits: For Family Members of Missouri's Fallen Workforce is a program administered by the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DOLOR) that provides financial assistance to the surviving family members of deceased workers who were killed on the job. The program provides a one-time lump-sum benefit to the surviving spouse or dependent children of the deceased worker. There are two types of Survivors' Benefits: Dependency Benefits and Death Benefit. Dependency Benefits are designed to replace the wages lost when a worker dies while on the job, and are available to the surviving spouse and/or dependent children of the deceased worker. The amount of Dependency Benefits is based on the deceased worker's average wages and the number of family members eligible for Dependency Benefits. Death Benefit is a one-time lump-sum payment available to the surviving spouse, dependent children, or next of kin of the deceased worker. This benefit is intended to assist with funeral expenses, medical bills, and other costs associated with the death of the worker. The amount of Death Benefit is based on the state minimum wage and the number of family members eligible for Death Benefit.
