My boyfriend just got approved for (DAC) on his deceased parents earnings record. So since he's going to be drawing off his parents record and not his own, can our 4 year old daughter draw auxillary benefits or is it that he has to be drawing off his own record rather than his parents for her to draw off of him?

Many people are not familiar with DAC benefits but there are several things that are not answered in your question.
How old is your boyfriend? Is he disabled and has been disabled before turning 22 years of age?
DAC is different from SSDI or SSI and some benefit rules are different. I believe he could loose his benefits if he marries (unless his wife is also disabled?) so I am not sure how having a child (without being married) would be handled.

My boyfriend is 30 and he was disabled before 22 and they have approved him for child disabled before 22 and since he doesn't have that many work credits he was awarded to draw off his parents record for SSDI.
I'm sorry but in the first question you stated your boyfriend had been approved for DAC but in your reply you changed this to SSDI but both from his parents work record - so - which is it? There is a difference in these two programs and each has different criteria for approval.
There are a lot of factors to consider. He needs to go down to Social Security to find out if the child is eligible.
