Why would this info on my dead mom be needed?

Asked on Mar 15th, 2017 on Estate Planning - Indiana
More details to this question:
A bank employee who is a friend of my step mother is looking into other’s accounts and telling my mom how much money they have. My dad died last year and the two of them, mom and bank employee friend, called 2 weeks after dad dies and wants to know my birth mom’s date of death and birth. Why would they need that information to fill out papers so that my step mom could get my dad’s retirement? My dad worked at coal mine and he was married before my mom and they didn't need her information.
