The caregiver benefits are for the family member who is still living but may be in a critically ill situation, or even in a gravely ill situation. They're payable when someone is providing care to that individual. In the event that the family member dies, the benefits end the same week of that individual's death. In those cases, just as with parental benefits, the benefit is linked to providing care to that person; therefore, when the person dies, we are no longer able to pay the benefit.
