#### What Are Disabled Adult Child (DAC) Benefits?

Disabled Adult Child benefits are Social Security disability benefits available to adults who became disabled before age 22 and whose parent is:

- Receiving Social Security retirement benefits
- Receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits
- Deceased but previously eligible for Social Security benefits

These benefits are paid based on the parent’s work record, not the adult child’s work history. DAC benefits are sometimes referred to as:

- Adult Child Disability Benefits
- Social Security benefits for disabled adult children
- Childhood disability benefits (when continuing into adulthood)
