85.44 PAYMENT TO ACTUAL DEPENDENTS.
In all other cases, a dependent shall be one actually dependent or
mentally or physically incapacitated from earning. Such status shall
be determined in accordance with the facts as of the date of the
injury. In such cases if there is more than one person, the
compensation benefit shall be equally divided among them. If there
is no one wholly dependent and more than one person partially
dependent, the compensation benefit shall be divided among them in
the proportion each dependency bears to their aggregate dependency.
