Can my husband receive social security benefits from time his father passed away when my husband was 7 years old

My husband recently found out his father passed away when he was 7 years old. He never knew his father, he left when my husband was still an infant. Is my husband eligible for back social security benefits that would have been owed time him at the time of his father's death?
