Under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, how much does the surviving spouse of a deceased worker receive?

16% of the deceased worker's Average Weekly Wage
100% of the deceased worker's Average Weekly Wage
66 2/3% of the deceased worker's Average Weekly Wage
50% of the deceased worker's Average Weekly Wage

The correct answer is: 66 2/3% of the deceased worker's Average Weekly Wage

Under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, the surviving spouse of a deceased worker receives 66 2/3% of the deceased worker's Average Weekly Wage. This is the correct answer because the LHWCA states that the surviving spouse is entitled to two-thirds of the worker's average weekly wage at the time of their death. This percentage is guaranteed regardless of whether the worker had any dependents. Options A, B, and D are all incorrect because they do not match the percentage specified in the LHWCA. Option A is too low, option B is too high, and option D is only half of the correct percentage.
