Bill overview
Senate Bill 1135 amends Arizona’s workers’ compensation laws to clarify death benefits paid to surviving family members. Specifically, it increases the maximum amount for burial expenses to $5,000 above $10,000. It outlines how death benefits are distributed to surviving spouses, children, parents, and siblings, based on their dependency and age, and adjusts the calculation for partial dependency on the deceased’s earnings.
