Can My Step Mom Keep Me From My Dad's Life Insurance Payout?

LOCATION: Dad lived in California, I live in Washington state.

My dad was killed by a drunk driver a few weeks ago in California. I suspect he has a life insurance policy through his former employer. Can my step mom in California (who he was legally divorced from) keep me from any insurance payout?

I've been talking with my therapist, and we both suspect my step mom is keeping me out of the loop on what is going on... She says he hasn't been autopsied yet because of the court case, and she's not going to do a memorial because she's going to Mexico in December. She has a go fund me set up for "ends of life expenses" but, like, why? She's rich... What does she need a go fund me for?

My dad wasn't in my life when I was a kid, and I reconnected with him ten years ago. I love him dearly, and his death is very upsetting to me because it's like I'm being abandoned all over again. I feel like I'm being excluded from the family's mourning process because I was specifically told not to fly down! When I declined receiving a specific object of my dad's, my step mom replied "lol" and that she'll just give it to a homeless person. This whole situation is bizarre and I have no idea what to do, I feel so lost.

Tl;dr can my step mom keep me from my dad's life insurance payout? Is it true he hasn't been autopsied and cremated yet because of the court case with the drunk driver?
