You don't say if he was receiving a benefit before he died. His right to benefits terminates on his death.
Children who are minors (under age 18) may be eligible for a survivor's benefits. Certain adult children who are disabled may also be eligible.

If your daughter is found to be disabled before age 22 then she can collect on her late father's benefits.
