N.Y. Volunteer Ambulance Workers' Benefit Law § 7-a: Date of death benefits

§ 7-a. Date of death benefits. All weekly benefits payable under

section seven of this article shall accrue as of the date of death of

the volunteer ambulance worker. In the event that a person or persons

entitled to weekly benefits shall die before a determination is made on

the merits of their claim, and such determination on the merits is

ultimately in their favor, then all weekly benefits due from the date of

death of the volunteer ambulance worker up to the date of death of the

person or persons entitled to such weekly benefits shall be paid to the

executor or administrator of the estate of such person or persons.
