Yes we had tried that. I think we have this ironed out so let me share what I know. After the three months, a supervisor in Apple billing caught the problem at 9:30 last night. My ID had been linked to the mobile number somehow, probably during changing to the unlimited plans. She unlinked my ID and advised me to contact Verizon the next morning. This morning, I deleted and reinstalled the Music app. I then proceeded to start the Apple Music section. It promptly asked to verify my sons ID and we were off and running. So the key was unlinking my ID from it. Hope this helps
