My grandfather retired from the Census Bureau in the 80’s. Since then, he and my grandmother have both been on government provided health (Blue Cross, Blue Shield) from his job. He died of a heart attack this weekend, and I am trying to figure out if my grandmother will still benefit from the same health even though he is gone.

Any answers would save a lot of time and stress.

Thanks.

    Yes-she will be able to keep the insurance as a surviving spouse. Chances are he chose the Government coverage in lieu of medicare. She should contact the carrier to see if there is anything she will need to send them (death certificate, etc).
