Invalid child in custody of state institution (RCW 51.32.010 and RCW 51.32.020)
Under RCW 51.32.010 and .020, compensation could not be paid to the noncustodial worker parent on account of an invalid child in a state institution. The question of whether the state institution having custody of an invalid child should receive compensation on the child's account was left unanswered. ....Jacob Masseth, 07,822, (1957)
Determined by court order
A court order granting the worker's wife custody of their children during the pendency of a divorce action determines the custody of the children for purposes of RCW 51.32.010. The wife, not the worker, was therefore entitled to back pension payments on the children's account during a reconciliation period when the worker returned to live with the wife and children. ....Walter Brown, 41,766 (1974)
