I filed for survivor benefits on April 21 after my husband died on march 11, 2011.
So far, I have not received any benefits. Carol, the person that assisted me when I filed the paperwork indicated me that all documentation was complete.
Please, help me with this issue. Let me know what else I can do to expedite the process. How can I contact someone privately to provide my personal information and find the status of my claim.
I thank you in advanced for your assistance.
