Time for a call to gm, I think.

Definitely call and find out for sure.

I don’t think you are a surviving eligible dependent, since you aren’t his widow.

But call to be sure so that you don’t leave money on the table.

Good question. My DH is a retired GM employee. The problem I see is when he retired, did he pick a beneficiary? They are called survivor benefits. If not, you are not entitled. At time of retirement is when he picks a survior. He receives more by not picking a survivor, less if he does. Here's the number I have in my husbands retirement package from 2009.

GM Benefits & Service Center

I would assume only if you were named beneficiary.

Yes, you need to determine a beneficiary at time of retirement. That beneficiary has to fit certain criteria too.
