First, I am sorry for your loss.

It depends on the terms of the pension. Some pensions terminate upon the death of the employee and their spouse.

Did your father have a Will and did you open an estate for him?

Second, what kind of pension was it? If it was a 401K then you may be able to get the proceeds,

You need to contact MGH and find out if there is a death benefit or balance in the pension. Then speak to an attorney for assistance.
