Employee, is used to collect information from individuals who have been 
designated as beneficiaries of the unpaid compensation of a deceased 
Federal employee or who believe that their relationship to the deceased

claim and properly assign a deceased Federal employee's unpaid 
compensation to the appropriate individual(s).
