§ 23403 Pre-1972 Survivor Benefits

• •If someone died before July 1, 1972, their family can still get money (survivor benefits) as per old rules.
• •The amount and rules for these benefits are the same as they were before July 1, 1972.
• •This law hasn’t changed since 1994—it still follows the old rules for those early cases.

A worker died in a job accident in 1970, and their family was getting monthly payments.

Even though the law changed later, the family keeps getting the same amount of money as they did back then, following the old rules.
