California workers’ compensation death benefits include up to $10,000 for burial expenses and up to $320,000 in compensation for dependents of the deceased worker.  If there is one total dependent and one or more partial dependents, the total dependent will receive $250,000 and partial dependents will receive up to $25,000. If there are no total dependents but one or more partial dependents, the partial dependents will receive up to $250,000. The amount each partial dependent will receive depends on the amount of support the deceased employee provided them.    There cannot be any partial dependents if there are two or more total dependents. The two total dependents will each receive $145,000. If there are three or more total dependents they will evenly split $320,000.
