Does my adult son with special needs have to file a tax return?

My son is 24. He has autism and is on the Intellectual Disability waiver. He receives SSI. (he lives with us full time and got about $4000 in SSI). He made $13,000 in a part time job this year. He had a job coach for part of the time. 

My question is:  Is he required to file a tax return?  Is there any benefit to him to file?
