SACCAWU DEATH BENEFIT CLAIM

It has been over 12 months since my father passed on. I submitted a claim of my Father from January 2024. My father passed on October 2023. I went to their offices 3 times, to follow up on the process and progress of the application. They have been making excuses that there are lot of cases while I stated my financial situation and how how I needed the money providing all the affidavits and required documents. I lastly asked that they at least give me an Advanced payment so I can be able to keep renting and putting food on the table for myself and my 2 Kids. But they told me they no longer do advances, when I asked for an estimation date of when I can get the money since they claimed that verification was done it only needed an approval from the Board of Trustees, they still said there are lot of cases. Must I be homeless with my children while I have money that is rightfully mine as the beneficiary that was nominated by my father and dependent on my father. what must I do to get the money because I'm unemployed and have no one that can support me.
