Yes a child can receive medical benefits if the mother has sole custody and the father dies. The state will provide the mother with assistance which will include medical benefits for the child. This can happen with or without the father passing on.

What are the rights of the father?

The father has essentially the same rights as the mother - e.g., to petition for and receive child support, custody or visitation, and otherwise be involved in the child's life. If your question is really about the rights of the non-custodial parent, please be more specific. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.


Do joint legal custody give a father rights to their child's medical records?
