§ 23402 Pre-1972 Death Benefits

• •If someone died before July 1, 1972, their family can still get money from the government.
• •The old rules from before 1972 still apply to these payments.
• •This law makes sure families who were already getting help keep getting it.

A worker died in a job accident in 1970, and his family was getting money from the government.

Even though the law changed later, the family will keep getting the money under the old rules.
