Latest version.

As set forth in section 412(a) of the Act the amount of benefits to which a beneficiary is entitled may be augmented by up to 100 percent based upon the number of persons (wife, children, parents, brothers, sisters) dependent upon such beneficiary for support. No State workmen's compensation law shall be excluded from the Secretary's list because it does not contain similar augmentation provisions if such law otherwise insures that beneficiaries and their dependents shall receive benefits substantially equivalent to or greater than the amounts such persons would receive under section 412(a) of the Act.
