First off, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. There are other questions that need to be answered which can help you receive earned benefits. For example, was your husband service connected, and if so, did he pass as a result of the service connected disability? Did he receive a military pension? Questions like these are important since you would be able to submit a DIC claim. (dependant indemnity claim) which will enable you to receive monthly payments from the VA which would be a percentage of what your husband used to collect every month. I would recommend calling your local county veterans agency to discuss the possible avenues of benefits you might have.
I believe it's the office of survivors assistance.you can call the VA or Google the number,just have all your husbands info at hand
