You don't have any options for force the employer to do this: the law does not require your son's former employer to fill out paperwork for you so you can get benefits. Legally, your benefits are your concern, not the employer's, and the employer has no obligation to you in this regard. You will have to work with the agency providing benefits to find some other way to satisfy their requirements.
