C.R.S. Section 8-42-121
Director to determine and apportion benefits


Death benefits shall be paid to such one or more of the dependents of the decedent, for the benefit of all the dependents entitled to such compensation, as may be determined by the director, who may apportion the benefits among such dependents in such manner as the director may deem just and equitable. Payment to a dependent subsequent in right may be made, if the director deems it proper, which payment shall operate to discharge all other claims therefor. The dependents or persons to whom benefits are paid shall apply the same to the use of the several beneficiaries thereof according to their respective claims upon the decedent for support in compliance with the finding and direction of the director.
