In case of death, the dependents of the deceased entitled
thereto shall receive as compensation or death benefits sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the
deceased employee's average weekly wages, not to exceed a maximum of ninety-one percent of
the state average weekly wage per week for accidents occurring on or after July 1, 1989, and not
less than a minimum of twenty-five percent of the applicable maximum per week. In cases
where it is determined that periodic death benefits granted by the federal old age, survivors, and
disability insurance act or a workers' compensation act of another state or of the federal
government are payable to an individual and the individual's dependents, the aggregate benefits
payable for death pursuant to this section shall be reduced, but not below zero, by an amount
equal to fifty percent of such periodic benefits.
