Payments will end if she remarries.

The average Massey miner earns $69,000 a year.

Massey will provide health insurance to each widow for 20 years unless she remarries, and to dependent children up to age 19, or 24 if they are in school.

There is a child care benefit for children up to age 12. And a dependent child can get a four-year scholarship to a public college or vocational school in West Virginia.

Massey is paying the benefits without requiring families of the 29 miners to settle any legal claims, Foglesong said.

He called the compensation package unprecedented.

Massey's offer "goes way beyond what most coal companies would offer," said Tony Oppegard, a Lexington, Ky., lawyer who says he has sued coal mining companies 150 times, including five wrongful death cases in the past five years.
