Practice question
An eligible mother dies with forty days of maternity benefits remaining. The father claims the balance under Section 6. The employer insists the elective seven-day allocation cap necessarily limits every death-related succession to seven days. What distinction matters?
- The remaining-benefit provision on maternal death or permanent incapacity is distinct from the ordinary elective up-to-seven-day allocation
- The balance is always forfeited
- Only seven days can pass under every circumstance
- The father must buy the remaining credits
- The original benefit must be reduced to zero
