Maybe. Much depends on how your dad filled out the beneficiary designation form for the pension -- under what the U.S. Supreme Court calls the "Plan Documents Rule." If you would like to discuss the matter, we would need to know EXACTLY what the letter you received says, and possibly do some research regarding the plan, if it is not perfectly clear. Usually, it is necessary to move very quickly in these matters, so whatever you decide to do, please do it soon.
