Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

My husband passed away 3 yrs ago. We live in California. The company he worked for said that I cannot claim his retirement income, as he did not complete the paperwork for me to do so, before he passed. I am of retirement age and he was collecting this money at the time of his death. Am I able to collect this income as his spouse without this paperwork or a will? He did remove his ex-wife from this retirement money approximately 20 yrs ago. He had to pay her off so he could keep his retirement.
