My mom resides in Maryland.
She is now 65 yrs of age. She was married to my step father for over 15 years. Last year they're health began to go down hill. They at that time lived in Florida. We thought it best to move them to Maryland to be closer to family who can take care of them.
However, my stepfather wanted to stay behind to tie up some loose ends there. Which consisted of selling certain poperty ect... Meantime he took out a 1yr lease at an apartment complex until things were finalized. My mom moved to maryland at that time.
Just recently he had a heart attack, and was put into a nursing home. where later he died. Now she has been denied of his death benifits. The reason for denial was due to the fact she did not reside with him at the time of death therefore she is not entitled to recieve mentioned benifits.
She has appealed such denial and has a hearing comming up in Dec. What should she do to prepare her self? And best to your knowledge does she have grounds to recieve anything from his social security?
Thank you for your time,
