Gawd the stupidity, ignorance, and gluttony are sickening:
"Item #23 - Every eligible survivor of a covered employee must be identified prior to the payment of any compensation. If you are aware of any
individual who may also qualify as a survivor of the deceased employee, provide his/her name and any additional information requested in this
item. Under the EEOICPA, certain limitations apply to the definition of persons who may qualify as an eligible survivor. Eligible survivors of a
deceased employee may include: surviving spouse, child (natural, step, or adopted), parent, grandchild, or grandparent. Any claim for survivor
benefits must be accompanied by proof of relationship to the deceased employee. This includes, but may not be limited to, a copy of a marriage
certificate, birth certificate, or adoption papers."
The claimant criteria for survivors of a U.S. nuclear (usually defense, not commercial) accident or injury have been BROADLY re-written over the last 50 years or so. This is to accommodate where grandpa, the nuclear worker, or, a citizen is crapped-up (exposed to radiological elements) and either dies in short order (rare) or develops cancer a while later and becomes disabled or dies. The grand children's parents were killed in an auto accident so grandpa & grandma, adopted and raised the grand kids. That makes the grandchildren eligible with the claim process.
If you have time spend an hour researching the Hanford "Down-Winders" and the green run for another example where grandchildren ARE justifiably eligible for federal compensation.
I seriously doubt this DUmmy ever gave grandma the time of day until he got wind of potential free shit!
