Bill overview
This bill seeks to expand workers’ compensation benefits to include funeral expenses for employees who die as a result of a work-related injury or illness. Currently, Massachusetts law limits funeral benefit payments to those cases where the death is determined to be work-related. This legislation would broaden the scope of eligible funeral expenses, providing greater financial support to grieving families. The bill is intended to ensure that workers and their families receive adequate assistance during difficult times.
