$255 Lump-Sum Death Benefit
Definition
A one-time $255 payment made only to a surviving spouse living with the deceased at death, or a spouse/child eligible for monthly benefits on the worker's record.
Exam tip
The $255 figure itself is the tested fact — and that it does NOT go to just anyone (no estate, no distant relatives).
Easy to confuse with
These are what this term gets tested against — if you can't tell them apart cold, drill the contrast.
