As discussed in the last Claims Committee meeting on June 21st, we don't have enough information or the volume of occurrences to effectively solve this issue at this time. The committee has agreed to refer this issue to the Modernization committee to resolve it in a future release. This IRR is planned to be withdrawn on 7/17/2023.
Nebraska statutes use the terms widow and widower however, gender does not play a role in the calculation of death benefits in Nebraska.
Thank you,

During the Forum in Florida, the questions was asked if the gender of the spouse has an effect on the benefit amount. This is a question for Jurisdictions. This will give clarity on how this committee and/or the Claims Modernization team will move forward regarding the DN 0097 - Dependent/Payee Relationship Code. Thank you Steve Mason |
