“Benefits to survivors include a surviving spouse without qualified children will receive an equal share of the bonus just as a retiree. A surviving spouse with minor children and/or children over 18 and under 22 years of age who are full-time students at an accredited educational institution will also equally share the bonus based on what is determined to be a retiree’s share,” Larson said in a media release.

She also added that a surviving minor child or children, and/or child and children over 18 and under 22 years of age who are full-time students at an accredited educational institution, will equally share the bonus based on what is determined to be a retiree’s share. A surviving minor child or children under the supervision of a legal guardian will equally share the bonus based on what is determined to be a retiree’s share.

“The Settlement Fund has determined that each retiree will receive $1,230.66. Survivors (spouse and/or children) of a deceased retiree will equally share the $1,230.66,” said NMI Settlement Fund Administrator Lilian Pangelinan.
