You will receive a death grant if you have paid for the funeral of a person

• who was insured against accidents with the agricultural employers' liability insurance association and
• who died as a result of an insured event. This includes
  • accidents at work
  • commuting accidents and
  • occupational illnesses

You will also receive death benefits if, for example, no funeral has taken place due to missing persons. This includes

• Widows or widowers,
• children,
• stepchildren,
• foster children,
• grandchildren,
• siblings,
• former spouses or wives,
• relatives in the ascending line, i.e:
  • parents
  • grandparents
  • Parents of illegitimate children
  • adoptive parents and
  • great-grandparents, if applicable

However, people who are not part of the family may also be entitled to a death grant if they have paid for the funeral.
The amount of the death grant corresponds to

• for surviving dependants: one seventh of the so-called reference value applicable at the time of death. This is calculated on the basis of the income of all persons insured under the statutory pension insurance scheme.
• for persons who are not part of the family: the actual costs of the funeral and is at most as high as the death grant for surviving dependants.
