The benefit is, however, reduced by the amount of the benefits payable on the death and, in the case of an independent adult, except, despite the second paragraph of section 3.1, an independent adult with a spouse who is a recipient under the Basic Income Program,

(1)  by the amount of the adult’s total liquid assets; and

(2)  by the value of all the adult’s property, minus the debts of the adult at the time of death.

Where the funeral expenses of a person referred to in the first paragraph are the subject, in whole or in part, of a prearranged funeral services contract or a prepurchased sepulture contract, the benefit is granted only if the value of the contract is not more than $12,000.

The special benefit is not granted in the case of an unclaimed body within the meaning of section 75 of the Funeral Operations Act (chapter A-5.02), unless release of the body to the foster family or foster home to which the person had been entrusted, to a minister of religion, to the Public Curator or to a person authorized under the first paragraph of section 77 of that Act has been authorized under that Act.
