Section 3101 (d) of 20 Pa.C.S. (relating to payments to family and funeral directors) was amended to allow for direct payment to certain statutorily determined recipients of an insurance contract for an amount of $11,000 or less where an appointed personal representative of the decedent has failed to make written demand for payment within 60 days following the death of the insured. The Department construes the insurance contracts specified in 20 Pa.C.S. § 3101(d) to include insurance contracts offered by fraternal benefit societies which are regulated by the Department under the Fraternal Benefit Societies Code (40 P. S. §§ 1141-101-1141-1001).
