The Insurance Court dismissed the daughter's application for a funeral benefit under the Seafarers' Benefit Act. The Seafarers' Benefit Fund rejected the claim because the applicant died more than one year after her employment ended. The court upheld this decision, confirming that the statutory one-year gap between employment termination and death precludes the benefit.
