What are y rights regarding a class action lawsuit if my 58 year old husband died from lung cancer?

He dies 9 months ago. He was a Navy Seabee and was exposed to aspestis his young life staying with an aunt and uncle who worked for general motors due to his mother’s illness growing up. Both aunt and uncle died from lung related illness. A remaining aunt asked why I can’t get on the lawsuit. I have tried but was told I don’t meet the requirements. Can someone explain more? He was never sick a day in his life and within 5-6 months he was gone.
