    • Survivors' Benefits ("SBs")

    SBs refer to benefits paid to the eligible survivors of a worker whose consequent death has been caused by a work-related injury or disease. In principle, the eligible survivors shall be paid in annuity SBs due to them; however, they may elect to be paid in annuity 50% of the SBs due to them and the remaining 50% on a lump-sum basis. If there are no eligible survivors who can be paid SBs in annuity, the corresponding SBs may be paid on a lump-sum basis.
