I find this cry for help as a bad dream. My husband was killed on the job recently and I understand your grief as I am only 40. What I don't understand is why you don't have a death certificate. The coroner and funeral home are to give to you immediately even if it says pending. Secondly, the death benefit is only $255 from Soc. Sec. but your 2 children and yourself each receive his soc. sec. immediately. It may take 10 days for the first payment but something is wrong if you are not getting this. Please explain! Thank you.

My husband was recently killed on the job working as a crane operator/ironwworker; leaving our 8 year old daughter and I feeling pretty alone. To make matters worse, I became behind on our mortgage while awaiting our benefits to begin. I was too proud to ask for help (I never have had to before) and now I am begging for someone to help refinance my home. I am not asking for a handout, just a little nudge in the right direction. Due to his death my credit score went from 717 to 530. Our income is steady and good but credit score is killing me. Please someone help so we don't lose our home now too. Thank you!
