72-417. MAXIMUM TOTAL PAYMENT. The maximum weekly income benefits payable for all beneficiaries in case of death shall not exceed sixty per cent (60%) of the average weekly wage of the deceased as calculated under section 72-419, [Idaho Code,] subject to the maximum limits in section 72-416[, Idaho Code]. The classes of beneficiaries specified in paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of section 72-413, [Idaho Code,] shall have priority over all other beneficiaries in the apportionment of income benefits.

The dependents specified in paragraph (4) of section 72-410, [Idaho Code,] shall be considered to be in one (1) class and those specified in paragraph (5) of said section, in another class.
