Can My Adopted Daughter Draw Off Of Me And My Husband?

Can my adopted daughter dfaw off me and my husband's said

Hi. Possibly, but there isn't enough information in your question for me to be able to know. A child can draw benefits on an adoptive parent's account if the adopted parent is either deceased or drawing Social Security retirement or disability (SSDI) benefits, and if the child is either under age 18, age 18 to 19 and attending high school, or is disabled due to an impairment that began before age 22 (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.03/handbook-0323.html).

Best, Jerry
