 Ingalls Shipbuilding, Inc. v. Director, Office of Workers' Compensation, 519 U.S. 248 (1997)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Before an injured worker's death, the worker's spouse is not a "person entitled to compensation" for death benefits within §33(g)'s meaning, and does not forfeit the right to collect death benefits under the Act for failure to obtain the worker's employer's approval of settlements entered into before the worker's death.
Yates' husband was alive at the time she signed the releases, she was not a "person entitled to compensation" at that time and was therefore not obligated to seek Ingalls' approval to preserve her entitlement to statutory death benefits.
Ingalls' arguments to the contrary--that §33(g)(1) effectively brings any person who "would be entitled" to compensation within its purview, and that strict adherence to the section's plain language is at odds with the Act's underlying policy of avoiding double recovery--are unpersuasive.

 Ingalls Signs $1.4 Billion AMCV Deal, but U.S. Shipbuilding Still Listing - Site Selection Online Insider
Ostensibly, at least, it was a red-letter day for U.S. shipbuilding, as Ingalls Shipbuilding (www.ingalls.com) signed a US$1.4 billion contract with American Classic Voyages (AMCV at www.amcv.com) to construct the first cruise ships built in the United States in 40 years.

Kvaerner's abandoning ship with its historic shipbuilding sector also meant the end of another highly touted project: Kvaerner Philadelphia Shipyard, a project that won $430 million in federal, state and local incentives and was considered a major plank in Al Gore's U.S. presidential run.
