Modifies Michigan worker's compensation laws to expand dependency presumptions and adjust death benefits.

The bill amends Michigan worker's compensation laws to expand the conclusive presumption of dependency to include certain individuals. It modifies the payment of death benefits, allowing continued payments if dependents are under 21 or 18 years old, depending on their circumstances. The bill also adjusts the minimum weekly benefit for wholly dependent individuals to 50% of the state average weekly wage and for partially dependent individuals to 25% of the state average weekly wage. It sets the maximum cost for funeral and burial expenses at $12,000 or the actual cost, whichever is less.
