A payment of $75,000 to the surviving spouse, dependent child, or other next of kin, as determined by the Secretary. Beginning one year after the date of death of the victim, a payment of— $900 per month to the surviving spouse, until the earlier of the spouse’s death or remarriage; and $225 per month to each dependent child, until reaching the age of 18 years.
For each dependent child enrolled or accepted for enrollment in a part-time or full-time program of undergraduate instruction at an institution of higher education, an annual amount not to exceed the lesser of $7,500 or half the total annual cost of attendance at such institution. Assistance provided under this paragraph shall not be considered for the purpose of awarding Federal assistance under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 1070 et seq. ), except that in no case shall the sum of the total amount of student financial assistance awarded to a dependent child under such title and the amount of assistance provided under this paragraph exceed the child’s total cost of attendance.
A dependent child may receive assistance under this paragraph for not more than a total of 5 years. The dependent child must maintain good standing at the institution in order to receive assistance under this paragraph. The death or remarriage of the surviving spouse does not affect a dependent child’s eligibility for assistance under this paragraph.
