The dept. of Pensions and Benefits in New Jersey, is telling me that because it says "Divorced" on my father's death certificate, according to Federal law, they have to investigate before they can process my claim. Why are they saying this? He named me as the beneficiary. They admitted that they were assuming that I was his wife, at first, because I have his surname. When I corrected them on that, they said that they still have to investigate. What difference does it make if he is divorced or not?
