Are you referring to military survivor benefits?
There isn't much to go on regarding your post. The answers could swing in any direction. If you are the widow of a service member that died while serving, but you are not/nor have you ever been receiving benefits then one would venture a hypothesis that you were not listed on any of the benefits forms by your spouse.
If you are referring to VA survivor benefits, then I recommend you visit the link provided by SSgt Christophe Murphy and also this link.

I will also point out that any major VA facility has a patient advocate that may help, and most states have a Veteran's department also.

If you are trying to get in touch with the VA I would start here.
Your State may also offer some level of support but you would need to verify that.

~~~~ You WILL Be Told: "That's Not True" ~ But Here The Proof ~~ Because This IS True,You Were Simply Told By Some Else Whom Did Not Know The Truth: Even The People AT Your VA Facilities Seldom Knew Anything About This "VETS Benefit"
I Made An Inquiry ~ And Here's The Reply: ~ I'd Suggest YOU Also Save It In Your Computer Files.

"Is A Military Veteran Entitled To Care And Supplies, Through ANY VA Facility,
Regardless Of Where He Resides"?
YES, a military veteran can receive medical products from out-of-state VA facilities, even if they are not living there. However, the veteran must be eligible for VA care without needing to enroll or be enrolled in VA health care 1. The eligibility for community care is dependent upon a veteran’s individual health care needs or circumstances 1. In most cases, veterans must receive approval from VA prior to obtaining care from a community provider 1. VA staff members generally make all eligibility determinations 1. Please note that VA is not authorized to ship medications or medical/surgical supply items outside of the U.S. or its territories 2. If you’re a veteran who lives overseas, you remain entitled to the benefits and services you earned through your military service. Most VA benefits are payable regardless of your place of residence or nationality 3. If you’re moving outside the U.S., you’ll need to sign up for the Foreign Medical Program. Through this program, VA will pay for certain needed health care services received in foreign countries to treat a service-connected disability or a disability that’s making a service-connected condition worse 4.I Hope this helps.
