Just go to your local Social Security Office and file a claim for survivorship benefits. If you were not married to the father of the baby, you will have to prove paternity (that the deceased was the fatheer of your child). If you have no proof, then you hve a problem since he died five years ago. It may be difficult to do a blood test now. You can also review my website at virginiadisabilitylawyer.com.
