Get workers’ compensation (if relevant)

If your loved one passed as a result of a work-related injury or illness, a workers' compensation policy may cover medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, and provide financial support to the family.

The employer should provide you directly with support and instructions. If they do not, you should file a claim with the state or a specific government fund. You can find the link for different special funds and your state here:
