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.
