How much is paid when an employee with permanent total disability dies?

When an employee with permanent total disability dies, the compensation typically provided is eighty percent of the Minimum Income Benefit (MIB) along with a dependent's pension. This arrangement aims to ensure that dependents are supported financially, reflecting the understanding that the loss of the employee's income directly affects their family. The eighty percent figure is rooted in social insurance principles, balancing the need to provide adequate coverage for families while ensuring the system remains sustainable. This percentage helps mitigate the financial impact on dependents while recognizing the permanent total disability's toll on the worker and their immediate family.
