Pennsylvania SB1304 modifies the Workers' Compensation Act by raising the cap on burial expense reimbursements from $7,000 to $20,000. This change ensures that employers or insurers can cover more substantial burial costs directly to the undertaker, without any deductions from previous compensation or benefits paid. The amendment applies to cases of death where compensation is computed under the act.
